Bug Description
SRU Justification
1. impact of the bug is low for stable releases, but the fix is non-intrusive. It is included here as part of the 2.5.1 update for Lucid (LP: #660077)
2. This has been addressed in the maverick development cycle and refined in the development release.
3. Patch adds Pixr access to /usr/bin/
4. TEST CASE:
* Update System/
* launch sensible-browser from the command line with 'sensible-browser http://
* close firefox
* open the attached PDF in evince and click on the http://
5. The regression potential is very low for this patch as it only adds additional access for sensible-browser
Binary package hint: evince
Did a google search in firefox, a pdf link came up. I clicked the link and selected "Open With "Document Viewer (default)". The document opened in Evince without problems. In the pdf document there was a link -- I clicked that link and got the error message "Unable to open external link: Failed to execute child process "sensible-browser" (Permission denied)" (see screenshot).
