Package: apt-listbugs
Version: 0.0.89
Severity: wishlist

I run aptitude in a terminal and have it set to invoke
apt-listbugs. After listing the bugs on the terminal, apt-list bugs
asks
Are you sure you want to install/upgrade the above packages? [Y/n/?/...]

If one responds "w" [display bug lists in html (uses
sensible-browser)] a browser with the bugs is spawned.

One must kill the browser before proceeding with apt-listbugs.

I would like it if apt-listbugs could spawn the browser and then
proceed directly, i.e., without needing to wait for the browser to be
killed.  I find it helpful to keep the bugs up for reference for both
the short run (while I alter the installation options of packages,
check for problems after installation, or follow advice in some bugs)
and the short run (to see if there's new info or a fix from some bugs,
and to know which bugs are relevant to my installation).

Thanks.

Hi,
I am one of the current co-maintainers of apt-listbugs.

I've just reviewed this bug report and I agree with Junichi that
apt-listbugs should wait for the browser process to exit, since forking
and proceeding immediately would not work well with text browsers (w3m,
lynx, links, ...).

Moreover, sensible-browser may be configured to invoke any
browser the user may prefer (via the BROWSER environment variable).
Hence, if iceweasel fits the user's desires better, it may be chosen as
the browser to be invoked via sensible-browser...

I am therefore closing this bug report.

Bye.
