Bug#613860: gnome: default browser (Epiphany) not used anymore

Package: gnome
Version: 1:2.30+7
Severity: normal

Dear Debian folks,


since a week or so, sorry for not being more specific, when opening URLs
in Evolution or GNOME Terminal Midori is started and not Epiphany. I
looked into the preferences and there under Preferred Applications
“Debian preset browser” is set. I guess that this means
`sensible-browser` or `gnome-www-browser` which are both set to Epiphany
in my case.

Do you know what changed?

I am sorry for assigning this report to DebPkg:gnome, but I do not know
a better one since it affects Evolution and GNOME Terminal.


Thanks,

Paul
