We are not suggesting a console program, but a class of programm which include both console and X11 program. It is up to the user to choose at this point. > especially not as the X program will use the x-www-browser alternative > per default... Are you aware of Policy proposal #172436 web browser url viewing ? I am not sure we need to seggregate between X11 and text browser in the virtual-package. Doing it in the alternative is quite sufficient since: If the BROWSER environment variable is not set, the program should use /usr/bin/x-www-browser if there is an available X Window System DISPLAY, and /usr/bin/www-browser if not. By the way, what is delaying acceptation of #172436 ? Cheers, Bill.
