Public bug reported: Asked a question and suggested to report a bug - https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xdg-utils/+question/272333
Copy of text also here: There is xdg-open bug (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=92440) which seems to be fixed in xdg-utils 1.1.0 rc2 and newer - it seems that Ubuntu 15.10 will have rc3. Older Ubuntu versions (http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=xdg-utils&searchon=names&suite=all§ion=all) do have still rc1 with that xdg-open bug. Could not find any PPA either to upgrade xdg-utils in existing and yet supported releases. Would kindly ask any feedback whether there are any plans to backport fixed xdg-utils into older Ubuntu releases?
