Public bug reported:

Hi,

here is the error:

$ chromium-browser 
/usr/bin/chromium-browser: 12: [: =: unexpected operator
[...]

Here is line 12 in /usr/bin/chromium-browser:

if [ $(xdg-settings get default-web-browser) = "chromium-
browser.desktop" ]; then

The error occurs because on my system the default-web-browser setting is
unset:

$ xdg-settings get default-web-browser
[nothing]

I suggest putting double quotes around:

if [ "$(xdg-settings get default-web-browser)" = "chromium-
browser.desktop" ]; then
