FYI, this breaks getdeb/playdeb if you install it. Just use the default apturl program.

for me, neither apturl or aptlinex starts Synaptic. “APT Simple Frontend” box/prompt never appears. followed above instrux.

Unfortunately I am, as someone who handles the contact email for playdeb/getdeb and receives many emails about it.

The fix is to install the firefox-gnome-support package.

(Kubuntu hasn’t caught up yet and users need to install it manually there, for websites like Playdeb.net and GetDeb.net)

Are you sure? I did see an apturl-kde package…

Yeah… just use apturl which is pre-installed on Ubuntu.

What’s the difference between aptlinex and apturl installed by default in Ubuntu 9.10?

Also the question “Is ok?” in the screenshot makes me wonder how much this package has been tested… (“Is it ok?” is better).
