Public bug reported:

If environment variable BROWSER isn't set, sensible-browser always shows
this error message:

usage: which [-as] program ...

even though it goes on and opens the browser.

It's easy to reproduce:

$ unset BROWSER
$ sensible-browser http://example.com

The bug is right at the beginning:

# Prevent recursive loops, where these values are set to this script
p="$(which sensible-browser)"
[ "$(which $BROWSER || true)" = "$p" ] && BROWSER=

It could be fixed with:

[ -n "$BROWSER" -a "$(which "$BROWSER")" = "$p" ] && BROWSER=
