Package: hexchat Version: 2.14.3-6+deb11u1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
According to the Hexchat FAQ [https://hexchat.readthedocs.io/en/latest/faq.html#how-do-i-change-what-browser-is-opened] in order to configure the file association for http and https links the user is directed to use the 'gio' utility. For example: gio mime x-scheme-handler/http firefox.desktop gio mime x-scheme-handler/https firefox.desktop For users of KDE these commands will not run successfully, and other methods of configuring http and https mimetype associations such as setting [Default Applications] in ~/.config/mimetypes.list or in ~/.local/share/applications/mimetypes.list also have no effect. Also note that the other two examples in the fact which use gvfs-mime will not work either in Bullseye because gvfs-mime is deprecated and points to gio. The end result is that it is not possible to configure the http and https mime type associations for Hexchat. Instead, Hexchat should use a destkop-environment-neutral mime mechanism such as xdg-mime. -- System Information: Debian Release: 11.6 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable-security'), (500, 'proposed-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 6.0.0-0.deb11.2-amd64 (SMP w/12 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE, TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages hexchat depends on: ii hexchat-common 2.14.3-6+deb11u1 ii libc6 2.31-13+deb11u5 ii libcanberra0 0.30-7 ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.110-6 ii libgdk-pixbuf-2.0-0 2.42.2+dfsg-1+deb11u1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.66.8-1 ii libgtk2.0-0 2.24.33-2 ii libnotify4 0.7.9-3 ii libpango-1.0-0 1.46.2-3 ii libproxy1v5 0.4.17-1 ii libssl1.1 1.1.1n-0+deb11u3 ii libx11-6 2:1.7.2-5~ubuntu18.04 Versions of packages hexchat recommends: ii ca-certificates 20210119 ii hexchat-perl 2.14.3-6+deb11u1 ii hexchat-plugins 2.14.3-6+deb11u1 ii hexchat-python3 2.14.3-6+deb11u1 ii libglib2.0-bin 2.66.8-1 Versions of packages hexchat suggests: pn hexchat-otr <none> pn unifont <none> -- no debconf information
