Package: sensible-utils
Version: 0.0.9+deb9u1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
when environmental variable BROWSER is set to value FOO
(and FOO is i /usr/bin/FOO)
$ sensible-browser
does
execve("/usr/bin/FOO", ["FOO", ""], ...)
execve("/usr/bin/FOO", ["FOO", ""], ...)
instead of
execve("/usr/bin/FOO", ["FOO"], ...)
That is, in sh notation, it does
$ FOO ''
instead of
$ FOO
In particular, it causes firefox to open with a directory listing of
getcwd() instead of its configured start page.
I attach two patches: a minimal patch that uses the same solution as
the rest of the script (maybe good for security update, to correct the
regression introduced by the security update), and a better patch that
also allows passing sensible-browser multiple URLs (maybe good for
sid).
