Subject: Manual page refers to non-existent BROWSER documentation in environ(7)

Date: Thu, 28 Jan 2010 00:00:12 -0800

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: sensible-utils
Version: 0.0.2
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

Hi,

The manual page for the sensible tools says to also see the
documentation of the BROWSER variable in environ(7), but environ(7)
doesn't contain any information about the BROWSER variable.

The attached patch removes the reference.

Or better, the man page could be improved so as to really explain how it works, and how to change its behaviour through configuration actions.

See #574582 for a similar report.
