Subject: apt-listbugs: Listbugs-spawned QueryBTS can't find Firefox
Package: apt-listbugs
Version: 0.1.31
Severity: normal
I triggered an update, and apt-listbugs found some bugs. I used the
b1/b2/b3 notation to query the BTS about said bugs, and read thru the
briefs on screen. I then tried to use the 'b' menu option to open
firefox, however, I got a rapid fire series of errors instead, along
with
window popups about how the firefox profile was not found. After I hit
'okay' to each window, it eventually gave me a reasonable text view of
the
bugs.
I would have reproduced the errors below, however, a few other packages
are
having bugs that cause them to spam the terminal with useless,
identical errors,
so the errors from query-bts all got buried (ie, they are above the
viewable
terminal window.)
As a guess, I would say that the root user doesnt have a firefox
profile,
When I ran querybts as a normal user, it was able to open a firefox
page:
sudo querybts wound up opening a text page, and printing about how it
failed to find various browsers, but had no popups about firefox
profiles,
and the error messages were less aggressive.
Thanks for taking the time to review this!
