Package: evince Version: 3.30.2-3 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
To reproduce: * Install a browser, e.g. Firefox Beta, from upstream (instead of the Debian repo). * When the browser asks you, tell it that yes you want it to become the default browser. * Start evince and click a link in a PDF file. Expected behavior: The link should be opened in the default browser. Actual behavior: Nothing happens when I click the link. Further information: It has puzzled me for quite some time why my default browser works in all applications, but not in evince. Through some help from upstream (unfortunately I had to bother them with this Debian-specific issue), I realized that I have AppArmor enabled on my system and that it has a profile for evince. My default browser is Firefox Beta, which is not shipped by Debian and hence installed in my home directory -- and that gets blocked by AppArmor. The blocking happens without any notice on the command line. I just noticed it *does* get logged in `dmesg`, but (not even knowing that AppArmor got enabled on my system), I did not think to look there. I think the default configuration should enable people to choose their default browser, and should at least tell them why their setup does not work. Currently, the failure mode for "someone downloads Firefox from the web and installs it and tells it to become the default browser" is a siltently half-broken default browser setup, which is not how things should work.
