Title: User Agent string says "Debian/squeeze/sid ()" instead of "Ubuntu/10.04 LTS (lucid)" Status in “epiphany-browser” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “epiphany-browser” source package in Lucid: Fix Released Bug description: Binary package hint: epiphany-browser In epiphany 2.30.2 in lucid, the user agent string is the following: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; fr-fr) AppleWebKit/531.2+ (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/531.2+ Debian/squeeze/sid () Epiphany/2.30.2 To be compared with the user agent string exposed by firefox: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; fr; rv:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100423 Ubuntu/10.04 (lucid) Firefox/3.6.3 This makes detecting the version of Ubuntu at best difficult. The user agent string can be inspected easily at e.g. http://useragentstring.com/. Information for an SRU: Impact of the bug on users: when browsing a dynamic website that relies on the user agent string to determine the OS and its version and display content accordingly, the user may not get the intended content (such a web site may be e.g. the Ubuntu support and learning center, as was discussed last UDS: see https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/community-m-ubuntu- support-and-learning-center). Fixed in the development branch: by modifying the branding.conf file (see related branches). TEST CASE: 1) Open Epiphany (Applications menu > Internet > Epiphany Web Browser) 2) Browse to http://useragentstring.com/ 3) Inspect the user agent string Expected result: the string contains "Ubuntu/10.04 LTS" Current result: the string contains "Debian/squeeze/sid" Regression potential: None as far as I know.
