[Bug 1889477] Re: xdg-open on Kubuntu 20.04 reports 'Could not connect to localhost: Connection refused' if localhost service not already up

[Nicholas Guriev]

xdg-utils use KDE native tools to open URLs. In your case, kde-open5 is
invoked which hangs on networking request and than fails. More clear
example:

 $ kde-open5 http://192.0.2.42:8080/

** Package changed: xdg-utils (Ubuntu) => kde-cli-tools (Ubuntu)
