Title:
"xdg-settings check default-web-browser something.desktop" fails in
Kubuntu 22.04: Bad substitution
Status in Xdg-utils:
Unknown
Status in xdg-utils package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
I'm reporting this issue from stock Ubuntu, but the problem is
observed only in Kubuntu (can be reliably reproduced in a Kubuntu
22.04 VM). The version of xdg-utils is identical.
This problem was initially reported on the snapcraft forum:
https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/firefox-wont-set-as-my-default-
browser/29708.
$ xdg-settings check default-web-browser firefox_firefox.desktop
/usr/bin/xdg-settings: 734: Bad substitution
The offending line is:
if [ x"!" == x"${browser:0:1}" ]; then
If I modify /usr/bin/xdg-settings in place to set the interpreter to
/bin/bash on the first line of the script, the problem goes away.
