Package: xsane
Version: 0.97-3
Severity: normal

When I try to open the xsane help (e.g. by pressing F1), I get an error message:

"Failed to execute documentation viewer: /usr/bin/sensible-browser: No such 
file or directory" (without the quotes)

I've installed '/usr/bin/sensible-browser' as part of the debianutils package. 
I can start '/usr/bin/sensible-browser' from a normal aterm without any 
problems. The problem is that xsane uses execvp to run 
'/usr/bin/sensible-browser' which is a perl script and not a binary. I could 
fix the problem on my box by replacing '/usr/bin/sensible-browser' with 'sh -c 
/usr/bin/sensible-browser' in 02_docviewer.dpatch. Though, this probably a 
rather ugly solution.
