Package: apt-listchanges Version: 2.59-0.2 Severity: normal In the manpage, an example is given which reads, in part,
browser=mozilla However, this is in insidious lie. [apt] frontend=xterm-browser email_address=root confirm=1 save_seen=/var/lib/apt/listchanges.db which=both browser=lynx results in my default browser (firefox) being invoked... as root. OUCH. Assumably, this is through sensible-browser running x-www-browser which is firefox. Now, if I change my config to this: [apt] frontend=xterm-browser email_address=root confirm=1 save_seen=/var/lib/apt/listchanges.db which=both BROWSER=lynx then lynx is run as expected. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable'), (100, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16-2-686-smp Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages apt-listchanges depends on: ii apt 0.6.44.0bpo3 Advanced front-end for dpkg ii debconf 1.4.30.13 Debian configuration management sy ii debianutils 2.8.4 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii python 2.3.5-2 An interactive high-level object-o ii python-apt 0.6.16.1bpo1 Python interface to libapt-pkg ii ucf 1.17 Update Configuration File: preserv apt-listchanges recommends no packages. -- debconf information: * apt-listchanges/confirm: true * apt-listchanges/email-address: root * apt-listchanges/which: both * apt-listchanges/frontend: xterm-browser * apt-listchanges/save-seen: true -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
