Its a major bug in Xubuntu, and x-www-browser is also affected, this
causes our help system which calls x-www-browser to crash and burn
miserably. Also breaks links in X-Chat and probably a few other things.
Here are my comments from the xubuntu-meta bug. Steve already came to
the same conclusion why the script is broken so here are my remaining
notes:
This is a bug in firefox that manifested when we removed midori as the
default browser.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/src/linux-ports-2.6.25/debian$ update-alternatives --list
x-www-browser
/usr/bin/firefox-3.0
/usr/bin/midori
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/src/linux-ports-2.6.25/debian$ firefox-3.0
exec: 118: /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.3/firefox-3.0: not found
>From the rules:
update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/x-www-browser \
x-www-browser /usr/bin/$APPNAME 40
touch $LIBDIR/.autoreg
This is what cases the alternative to point to firefox-3.0 instead of
firefox, and thus breaks x-www-browser.
I concur with Steve's solution that the best way to fix this bug is have
the script check for a matching name, and fall back on $LIBDIR/firefox
if no other things are found.
