Open pidgin 2. hit Help->Online Help 3. Actual results: no xdg-open command found Expected results: FF should open pidgin help page Additional info:
Tomas: Are you using Gnome currently? If not, what browser is specified in Tools->Preferences->Browser? I don't think the Pidgin package should require xdg-utils because it's not a hard dependency. If Pidgin detects that the user is running within Gnome (g_find_program_in_path("gnome-open") and g_getenv("GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID") both return something) then Pidgin will try to use gnome-open or xdg-open to open URLs. Otherwise Pidgin will use the browser that has been configured in Tools->Preferences->Browser. You could possibly argue that Pidgin should try harder to find a valid browser to use if xdg-open doesn't exist, but I would consider that a Pidgin feature request rather than a reason to change the package to depend on xdg-utils.
You could also argue that Pidgin shouldn't try to detect valid browsers at all, and should instead reply upon xdg-open (and then it would make sense for the package to depend on xdg-utils), but I would consider that a Pidgin feature request, too.
Recheck with new created user and all works as expected, probably prefered browser was wrongly configured. Closing as NOTABUG.
