Package: sensible-utils Version: 0.0.12 Severity: normal The various *-open utils (gnome, kde, exo, xdg) and GUI toolkits seem to use the XDG mimeapps mechanism to select the default browser, at least as a fallback. The user config file for this is ~/.config/mimeapps.list
These commands return the .desktop file for the application configured for the browser related MIME types: xdg-mime query default text/html xdg-mime query default x-scheme-handler/http xdg-mime query default x-scheme-handler/https xdg-mime query default x-scheme-handler/about (Setting of the defaults is made with a similar command, e.g.: xdg-mime default firefox-esr.desktop text/html ) As sensible-browser does not come with a .desktop file, there is no way to set it as a default with this mechanism. Maybe a .desktop file could be provided in sensible-utils? (Referring to default applications by their .desktop file is pretty bonkers IMO, but sensible-utils is easier to fix than xdg-mime) -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-8-686-pae (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US:en (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) -- no debconf information
