Package: grass
Version: 6.0.2-0.dgis.stable.1
Followup-For: Bug #418833
that patch makes it functional, but still there is a problem?
[this is lib/init/init.sh; bug already fixed by Frankie in DebianGIS's SVN]
http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-grass/packages/grass/trunk/debian/patches/www-browser.dpatch?op=file&rev=0&sc=0
problem:
+ else
+ GRASS_HTML_BROWSER=true
GRASS_HTML_BROWSER should be the path to a web broswer executable, not a boolean
answer. UNLESS we just want it to silently fail by setting the web browser to be
`/bin/true`, but that's a bit odd and misleading to readers of the script.
FWIW I've cleaned up this part of lib/init/init.sh in the GRASS CVS some weeks ago:

Revision 1.106
suggest changing the `true` fallback to something more web browserish.
("mozilla not found" is a better error message than "true not found")
