Given kbd last shipped that symlink in oldoldstable, which will be oldoldoldstable by the time Bookworm releases, I'd say that would potentially cause more issues than it would solve, since xdg-open also has the file. So I'd just be inclined on closing this? Very old cruft causing issues in some cases, that can be fixed manually and restarted, is pretty much expected due to the nature of the changes. The important thing is that there was enough information to go solve the problem, and restarting completes successfully, and it sounds like it did. -- Kind regards, Luca Boccassi
