Package: apt-listbugs Version: 0.1.24 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
When inspecting a bug presented by apt-listbugs (e.g. 'b1'), one of the possible actions is to type 'b' to open the list of bugs in the browser. When I attempt to do this it fails with an error message about xdg-open not being able to find a browser (reproduced below). It's not the fault of apt-listbugs that the 'b' function is broken; that's down to the fact that xdg-utils is not configured for the root user, and its hard-coded list of fallback browsers is missing /usr/bin/firefox. However I wonder how much sense it makes to be running xdg-open as the root user in the first place. It seems like all of the possible external actions in this menu (launching email client or web browser) are things you would expect to do as a normal user and probably wouldn't have configured for the root user. Is there any way that apt-listbugs could drop down to a normal user for the context of this menu and xdg-utils? -- Relevant output: What do you want to do now?
