Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: update-manager
For some reason or recent change, links in Update Manager now defaults
to the epiphany browser regardless of which browser is set in
System|Preferences|Preferred Applications.
$ cat ~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/applications/browser/%gconf.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<gconf>
<entry name="exec" mtime="1275415696" type="string">
<stringvalue>seamonkey2</stringvalue>
</entry>
<entry name="nremote" mtime="1275415696" type="bool" value="true"/>
Same occurs even if the full path to the browser is provided, and if
Firefox is set as preferred.
$ apt-cache policy update-manager
