Bug Description
I downloaded a GNOME mouse cursor theme and decided to see if Mint could install it from the Files browser, by right-clicking the index.theme file.
Up popped a dialog box titled: Select an application to open "index.theme"
It contained the text:
No applications available to open "index.theme"
Click "Show other applications", for more options, or "Find applications online" to install a new application.
So, I clicked the "Find applications online" button. The first time I did this, it failed and complained that the 'aop-install-data' package was needed to handle MIME type decoding, or something along those lines (not an exact error message). So I installed that package and tried again, once more getting to the dialog and clicking the "Find applications online" button.
Actual behavior:
After searching a while, it crashed and popped up a dialog titled "Failed to look for applications online" which contains a Python traceback:
GDBus.Error:
File "/usr/lib/
result = gen.send(result)
File "/usr/lib/
path))
File "/usr/lib/
self.
File "/usr/lib/
IniFile.
File "/usr/lib/
raise ParsingError(
ParsingError: ParsingError in file '/usr/share/
Expected behavior:
The search should come back with either no results, or usable results, and not crash.
