Bug#987176: plasma-desktop: Default application for .deb files is broken on clean install
Package: plasma-desktop
Version: 4:5.20.5-4
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: caleb@candj.us
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation? This was a clean install of Debian 11 on multiple computers.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)? Tried to install a .deb by double clicking on it in Dolphin
* What was the outcome of this action? Nothing happens
* What outcome did you expect instead? I would expect the default application associated with .deb files out of the box, apper, would launch. This can be worked around with simply associating deb files with something else, like Discover. But this is a really poor out of the box experience for users. Whatever bug that prevents apper from launching should be fixed or the default application on a clean install should be changed.
