This is now fixed upstream: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-flashback/-/commit/be4a359bf8869be9 The old code is falling back to xdg-open, so I think we can wait for the new release which should be released within a month. If you think I should backport it earlier, please let me know. -- Dmitry Shachnev signature.asc Description: PGP signature
Bug#969778: gnome-flashback: Please do not use gvfs-open
Source: gnome-flashback Version: 3.36.4-1 Severity: important User: pkg-gnome-maintain...@lists.alioth.debian.org Usertags: gvfs-bin-deprecation gnome-flashback appears to contain a call to the deprecated gvfs-open(1) utility, but does not depend on the package containing that utility. (See activate_link_cb() in gnome-flashback/libnotifications/gf-bubble.c.) gvfs-mount was superseded by gio(1) in 2015 and removed from upstream GNOME in 2018. It is currently still available in the gvfs-bin package as a Debian-specific addition, but we want to remove it before Debian 11. The best way to open a URL is to use appropriate platform APIs like gtk_show_uri_on_window() instead of calling out to external commands. Since there is already no dependency, I am not intending to let this bug block the removal of the gvfs-bin package. Thanks, smcv
