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
