Has anyone else had this problem? (Woody, i386, 2.4.18)
When urlview is invoked on the virtual terminal (from eg. mutt), and it starts up lynx, then when I try to follow a link to an image, all I get is the download/cancel option. However, when I start up lynx normally, and try to view an image, zgv is started as expected. After some messing around with this, I discovered that a call, made by the mailcap test, to \usr\bin\tty, is returning /dev/tty when urlview has been called (as opposed to /dev/ttyN when urlview is not involved), so the test (from /usr/lib/mime/packages/zgv) expr "`/usr/bin/tty`" : '/dev/\\(tty\\|vc/\\)[0-9][0-9]*' fails, and zgv won't be started. I think that this is a bug, but I'm not sure which package is to blame - I don't know whether /usr/bin/tty (or the corresponding libc call ttyname) is doing the wrong thing by returning "/dev/tty", or if urlview is messing up the environment so that /usr/bin/tty doesn't behave as expected, or if the zgv mailcap rule is checking for the wrong thing. As a workaround, I changed each occurrence of the mailcap test to expr "`/usr/bin/tty`" : '/dev/\\(tty\\|vc/\\)[0-9]*' and ran update-mime. This works, but I'm concerned that it may not be the right way of doing things.
