Package: xchat
Version: 2.8.8
Description
Summary: Source package xchat refers to a non-free browser in its URL
handler section. This non-free browser is not even in the Ubuntu
repositories (free & non-free) so we should not be using it as a URL
handler. A URL-handler for an appropriate free software browser was
expected.
Versions Used:
Operating System: Trisquel 5.5 (Ubuntu 11.10 derivative)
Package: xchat (2.8.8-3ubuntu8)
Notes: Also tested on Debian virtual machine using Debian 6.0.6
Steps to reproduce:
Install the install xchat package
Open xchat
Connect to any network + channel (e.g. #trisquel on freenode)
Navigate to settings --> advanced --> URL Handlers
Option menu will display a URL Handler for a non-free browser.
