Package: xdg-utils Version: 1.1.0~rc1+git20111210-6 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
xdg-email contains some special treatment for thunderbird (presumably since [1]), which however breaks it completely: Instead of opening a composer, Thunderbird just shows an error message: "An error occurred while creating a message compose window." The parameters passed to Thunderbrid look completely bogus: XDG_UTILS_DEBUG_LEVEL=10 xdg-email em@ai.l Running /home/r/bin/thunderbird/thunderbird -compose "to='-e "em@ai.l",',cc='-e',bcc='-e',attachment='-e'" Taking a guess, I simply changed the "/bin/sh" at the top of the xdg-email script to "/bin/bash" - which fixed everything. So, please do that in the package as well.
