1863757 - The .deb package doesn't update alternatives for `x-www-browser`

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Release Engineering :: Release Automation, defect, P3)

Description

[Gabriel Bustamante [:gabriel]]

In Debian there is a command to choose the default browser:

update-alternatives --config x-www-browser

The .deb is not showing up in the list of available browsers.

Someone worked around the issue by running:

sudo update-alternatives –install /usr/bin/x-www-browser x-www-browser /usr/bin/firefox-nightly 100
