[Bug 1945658] Re: Link to release notes on Ubiquity language plugin page is opened with gedit

Nice find! That is indeed the case.

Starting up ubiquity through shell with $XDG_DATA_DIRS included fixes
it.

Title:
  Link to release notes on Ubiquity language plugin page is opened with
  gedit

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Reproducible only during Live session. See comment #2.

  Ubuntu Impish daily-live 20210930
  ubiquity 21.10.6
  xdg-utils 1.1.3-2ubuntu2

  Commit 33e306c9d77c6688e02d0cbae9a1d86f404272d3 to ubiquity changed
  sensible-browser to xdg-open to open hyperlinks.

  Now, for some reason the link to the release notes

  http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes?os=ubuntu&ver=21.10&lang=${LANG}

  is opened with gedit. Desktop files for both gedit and firefox show
  correct values for MimeType, however, xdg-mime query default text/xml
  outputs org.gnome.gedit.desktop

  /etc/mailcap still points to text/html; /usr/bin/sensible-browser

  For now, I propose to revert the last commit, at least until the bug
  is fixed.
