Comment 3 for bug 1705708

Just tried this on a a fresh install of 17.10 with snapd 2.27.2 and I'm seeing a weird issue.

$ snap run --shell hiri
To run a command as administrator (user "root"), use "sudo <command>".
See "man sudo_root" for details.

osboxes@osboxes:/home/osboxes$ xdg-open https://www.google.com
Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name com.canonical.SafeLauncher was not provided by any .service files

The links work if I install snapd-xdg-open, but I understand that this package isn't required anymore?

Oddly, when I then uninstall snapd-xdg-open, the links continue to work. As if something got left behind.
