Is documentation relating to www-browser up to date?
This link, http://
I'm asking in this context: suppose a user of a new install of Lubuntu decides to use apt-get to purge Chromium which comes as the default browser and is currently the only browser on the system. The process will require the installation of Firefox in its place.
However, if the user first installs Epiphany from the Software Center, and then runs sudo apt-get purge chromium-browser, no alternative is required to be installed.
My understanding is that as long as a browser from the www-browser list is present, Chromium can be removed. But that is not what happens. If, instead of Epiphany, dillo or E-Links is present, Chromium cannot be uninstalled without requiring the installation of Firefox.
Evidently, apt-get no longer regards dillo or E-links as a www-browser. Is that correct? If so, the list of www-browsers should be updated.
