** Description changed: [ Impact ] In Ubuntu Desktop, .deb files and snap:// links should open by default in the "App Center". While that's already working out-of-the box, that's only because "App Center" is the only application registered to open those mime-types. After installing another application like `gnome-software` (along with plugins `gnome-software-plugin-deb`, `gnome-software-plugin-snap`) files should keep opening by default in the "App Center" unless the user manually changes preference. Instead, currently after installing `gnome-software` and its plugins, both .deb files and snap:// links will open by default in gnome-software. [ Test Plan ] 1. Run in a terminal: - sudo apt install gnome-software gnome-software-plugin-deb gnome-software-plugin-snap + sudo apt install gnome-software gnome-software-plugin-deb gnome-software-plugin-snap 2. In firefox, open https://snapcraft.io, choose a snap, click "View in Desktop store" - -> Verify that the first listed application is "App Center" + -> Verify that the pre-selected (or first-listed) listed application is + "App Center" 3. In nautilus, click to open a .deb file - -> Verify that the "App Center" opens and displays the deb file. + -> Verify that the "App Center" opens and displays the deb file. [ Where problems could occur ] The patch is modifying a textual configuration file. If the installed configuration file was to be corrupt, at worst all default file associations may stop being honoured so that files may open in a different app than before.
