Package: debianutils Version: 2.11.2 sensible-browser does not appear to handle the BROWSER variable correctly :-(
For example, with Eric Raymond's example: BROWSER='mozilla -raise -remote "openURL(%s,new-window)":links' because the command will be split and not handed to /bin/sh, mozilla will receive the arguments (C syntax): argv[0] = "-raise" argv[1] = "-remote" argv[2] = "\"openURL(http://www.blah.org/,new-window)\"" argv[3] = NULL Unfortunately, the embedded quotes in argv[2] cause mozilla to fail. My suggested solution to this is to replace sensible-browser with an appropriate modification of David Wheeler's browse script, along with his "Secure BROWSER" modification of Eric Raymond's BROWSER variable, all available from http://www.dwheeler.com/browse/, with BROWSE under a DFSG license, but the specs not yet.
