Details

An update htmlview package that fixes a browser-launching issue is now
available.

The htmlview utility uses an installed and preferred HTML viewer to display
a local HTML page. It is used by several configuration tools to display
their help pages.

This updated package fixes the following bug:

* htmlview was not configured by default to check for the presence of
alternative browsers such as Konqueror in the absence of the GNOME desktop
or Firefox. htmlview is now more aware of browsers available on the system.

Users should upgrade to this updated package, which resolves this issue.
