You see, iiuc epiphany-browser is not even managed systemwide through the alternatives system. The default browser is rather managed something like this: - GNOME apps look to the "preferred applications" - KDE apps look at their equivalent of the same - Traditional apps use the $BROWSER environment variable - Modern, desktop-agnostic apps use the xdg-open(1) utility, which detects the current browser and tries some of the above. - If none of the above is set, we start falling back to defaults. Old programs look for netscape, less old ones look for mozilla, less old for firefox. But when packaging for Debian, these hard-coded defaults get replaced by x-www-browser, so the local sysadmin can decide to on a global site-default browser using the alternatives system. The sensible-browser(1) script can be used to implement some of this. Anyway, the moral is that if an app packaged for Debian is running Epiphany despite something else being set as your default browser, that is a bug. Alternatives have nothing to do with fixing this. > ..so that's why i'm filing a bug to gambas package as well..
