Bug#570828: epiphany-browser: Application not recognized by bug-buddy

[Matijs van Zuijlen]

Package: epiphany-browser
Version: 2.29.90.1-2
Severity: normal

Since a while, bug-buddy has stopped being able to recognize Epiphany as an application that exists in Gnome's bugzilla. It seems this is due to the following combination of facts:

- epiphany's executable is identified as epiphany-browser in /usr/share/applications/epiphany.desktop
- epiphany sets its name to 'epiphany' using g_set_prgname in its main() function (src/ephy-main.c).
- when epiphany crashes, gnome-breakpad calls g_get_prgname to get epiphany's name, yielding 'epiphany'
- gnome-breakpad calls bug-buddy using the retrieved name, like so: 'bug-buddy --appname epiphany --pid xxxx'.
- bug-buddy tries to find an application called 'epiphany' but only finds 'epiphany-browser' and thus concludes it cannot sent the bug report anywhere.

Epiphany should probably set its name to 'epiphany-browser' to match its executable.
