Package: evolution Version: 2.30.1.2-3 Severity: normal Evolution is ignoring my preference for default web browser when I click on links.
default-applications-properties is set to iceweasel, x-www-browser is set to iceweasel $BROWSER is set to iceweasel and yet Evolution chooses chromium-browser instead. This is in consonance with the contents of /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache and Evolution runs runs through the applications there in order text/html=bluefish.desktop;chromium-browser.desktop;kde4-kfmclient_html.desktop;abiword.desktop;iceweasel.desktop;kompozer.desktop;arora.desktop;elinks.desktop;
