[Bug 628989] [NEW] After loading the latest update today, the web browser will not launch

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Binary package hint: synaptic

After I ran Update Manager and it installed the latest updates, my
browser has either disappeared or fails to work.

The command executed to launch the browser is: abrowser %u

When I try to launch the browser, the following errors comes up:
Could not launch menu item
Failed to execute child process "abrowser" (No such file or directory)

Using Gnome desktop version 2.22.3 originally installed by Dell

Using Ubuntu version 8.0.4.  Would like to upgrade to a newer version,
but don't know how. I hoped the System Update Manager would do that
automatically and keep me current.

Please help as my netbook is my primary internet tool.

Thanks -

Ed Kura
