However, sensible-browser is not meant to be invoked from the command line; it's meant to be spawned by other programs that are not sophisticated enough to perform the logic themselves. In the event that this is an X program, your proposed change introduces the possibility of executing a text browser without a terminal emulator. Will all candidate browsers fail appropriately in that scenario? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
