1. I was suggesting that lynx provide, or perhaps better depend on a small package that provides, a low priority alternative for /etc/alternatives/firefox-homepage. We then modify the dpatch to set STARTFILE to point to that file. If ubuntu-docs is installed, then it will point to /usr/share/ubuntu-artwork/home/firefox-index.html and the user will have the same experience as they usually would. If ubuntu- docs is not installed, the link will point to the other homepage instead.
$ update-alternatives --display firefox-homepage firefox-homepage - status is auto. link currently points to /usr/share/ubuntu-artwork/home/firefox-index.html /usr/share/ubuntu-artwork/home/firefox-index.html - priority 40 slave firefox-homepage-locales: /usr/share/ubuntu-artwork/home/locales-ubuntu Current `best' version is /usr/share/ubuntu-artwork/home/firefox-index.html. 2. As another option, we could separate out the homepage from the ubuntu-docs package into another package and make both lynx and ubuntu- docs depend on that. 3. Alternatively, we could make that dpatch change, as you suggest. This is obviously the least effort. As a suggestion, STARTFILE could point to "file:///usr/share/doc/lynx/lynx_help/lynx_help_main.html", which is the same page presented when selecting the (H)elp command in lynx. -- lynx fails to start if ubuntu-docs is not installed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/220080 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
