Drop hard dependency on lynx | www-browser

[Nazar Mokrynskyi]

Currently `fish` package depends on `lynx | www-browser`.
I believe Fish should be able to work without those just fine. Moreover, I have Firefox Nightly and Chromium Nightly installed without package manager, so I don't want to have regular Firefox or any other browser installed besides those.

Can you decrease dependency importance to suggested or whatever it is called in deb?

I'm on Ubuntu 18.04 right now.

For what it's worth, in our upstream packages we don't have a suggests or recommends on www-browser - the Web-based configuration is an entirely optional component.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Hi, I'm on Ubuntu 21.10 and dpkg says that the "fish" package depends on lynx or www-browser:

$ dpkg -s fish
Package: fish
Status: install ok installed
Priority: optional
Section: shells
Installed-Size: 5300
Maintainer: Ubuntu Developers <email address hidden>
Architecture: amd64
Version: 3.1.2-3ubuntu1
Depends: bc, fish-common (= 3.1.2-3ubuntu1), lynx | www-browser, man-db, python3, python3-distutils, libc6 (>= 2.32), libpcre2-32-0 (>= 10.22), libstdc++6 (>= 5.2), libtinfo6 (>= 6)
Pre-Depends: dpkg (>= 1.17.14)
...

Perhaps the web-based configuration could be removed from the fish package?
