2008/5/31 Clint Adams <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > I see no compelling reason why sensible-browser should ever appear in
I am really confused by that "ever". Are you suggesting that it shouldn't have been there in the first place?! If that is so, then I would really need an explanation to be convinced. Note that *I* have explained *why* my proposed change is needed and, if there are any flaws in my reasoning, I would really like them pointed out for me. > mailcap, so I don't know why this is a serious bug of debianutils. 1) Because of the reasons explained in http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=466517#5 . 2) Because sensible-browser is the only "browser" that is able to respect the options of the admin and the users, no matter: a) which browsers are installed on a system b) how many users are present on a system c) if X is used or not: "When several packages all provide different versions of the same program or file it is useful to have the system select a default, but to allow the system administrator to change it and have their decisions respected." 3) Because, in spite of some people might be used to, there *are* multi-user systems that should respect the different options of each and every user. Currently, on my main machine, me and my wife are using GNOME, but I prefer iceweasel, while she prefers epiphany-browser. If she clicks on any link given by a friend via instant messenger or mail, she ends up with the unwanted browser side-by-side with the preferred one (if she already had epiphany open). -- Regards, EddyP ============================================= "Imagination is more important than knowledge" A.Einstein -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
