Bug#908760: xdg-utils: xdg-open doesn't work in LXDE on URLs

[Klaumi Klingsporn]

Package: xdg-utils
Version: 1.1.3-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

In LXDE xdg-open is not able to open a web- or mail-URL. I only get a message from pcmanfm
that says:

"/home/user/http:/www.debian.org: file or driectory not found."

The reason is a typo in the xdg-openscript in line 978. Instead of:

if pcmanfm --help >/dev/null 2>&1 -a is_file_url_or_path "$1"; then

is has to be:

if pcmanfm --help >/dev/null 2>$1 -a is_file_url_or_path "$1"; then

and all works fine again in LXDE.

The same in the source-file scripts/xdg-open.in in line 454.

Would be nice if you could fix this in the next release of the package and forward it to 
upstream.

Klaumi
