Package: xdg-utils Version: 1.1.1-1 Severity: normal I'm not sure if this is an xdg-utils or chromium bug.
After installing chromium, it automatically became the XDG "default-web-browser", used by xdg-open, which in turn is invoked by many programs to display their HTML help/manual pages. This shouldn't happen; only the user should be allowed to set the default browser. I had to restore my preferences running "xdg-settings set default-web-browser firefox-esr.desktop" Fortunately /etc/alternatives was not affected by this problem: chromium was added to the available alternatives for x-www-browser etc, but the default user preference was not changed. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.8.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=it_IT.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=it_IT.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) xdg-utils depends on no packages.
