Title:
Manpage makes erroneous claim about BROWSER documentation
Status in sensible-utils package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in sensible-utils package in Debian:
Unknown
Bug description:
sensible-editor(1) (and other programs in sensible-utils) in the ‘SEE
ALSO’ section of the manpagesays:
Documentation of the EDITOR, VISUAL, PAGER, and BROWSER variables
in environ(7)
But environ(7) doesn't actually make any mention at all of BROWSER, so
looking there is of little help in determining how to set the
preferred browser, so that mention should be removed.
What would be useful is to document that sensible-browser by default
tries gnome-www-browser, x-www-browser, or www-browser (depending on
whether it's running under Gnome, X, or neither), and so the browser
choice can be set with update-alternatives(8).
Thanks.
