Bug#1026887: vlc.desktop hardcodes path to executable



Package: vlc
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: debianuser@gmail.com

Dear Maintainer,

/usr/share/applications/vlc.desktop hardcodes path to the executable in
the line:

Exec=/usr/bin/vlc --started-from-file %U

This breaks tools like firejail.

Instead it should say:

Exec=vlc --started-from-file %U
