Bug#1062449: xdg-utils: Please package 1.2.0

[Sedat Dilek]

Hi,

this Debian-bug looks like a sort of master BR.

There were several comments/reports on the debian-kde mailing-list.
In my case Links are not opened in Firefox (default web-browser) when
clicking in quassel IRC client.

As a note:
autotests need to be fixed as well, see my attached patch in the Link below.
MATE check was commented as it is BROKEN when run.
You can fold into d/p/debian-changes if you like.

An interesting patch here:

Link: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?att=1;bug=1083074;filename=kde6.patch;msg=10

It elegantly fixes scripts/xdg-open.in and scripts/xdg-email.in.
Most approaches to fix the issue cared about xdg-open only - what I have seen.

I had no look into the 6 commits Patrick suggested as they point to...

...where I have no permission to look into.

UPDATE: Today, I see:an Admin message:

Thanks for all the information and taking care with the will to
provide a NMU upload.
