This works fine from within yelp in natty (apt urls open the Software Center, presenting the user with information about the appropriate application), but within firefox, the apt:[app name] feature doesn't seem to work correctly.
Per the attached screenshot, it just opens up a window asking which application should open the URI. If I select "Choose," it gives me a file-selector window. This assumes that I'll know where to go to have this open in the Software Center. dpkg -l apturl ||/ Name Version Description +++-==============-==============-==================== ii apturl 0.4.2ubuntu5 install packages using the apt protocol dpkg -l ubufox +++-==============-============================= ii ubufox 0.9-0ubuntu1 transitional dummy package -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/426215 Title: [UIF exception] apt:package-name isn't handled by the Store when appropriate -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
