Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xdg-utils
After upgrade, everything apart from Gnome Terminal honours my browser
preference of "please, daddy, anything but firefox".
To rectify this, I tried:
faux@wilf:~% xdg-settings set default-web-browser google-chrome.desktop
Which prints:
awk: cannot open /home/faux/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list (No such
file or directory)
awk: cannot open /home/faux/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list (No such
file or directory)
And exits with exit status 4; having not worked.
Touching the named file fixes the problem.
