[Bug 1971763] Re: www-browser is not satisfied by the default Firefox snap

[Julian Andres Klode]

The gimp-help-* packages have a dependency on only virtual packages rather than firefox-esr | firefox | chromium | x-www-browser 
 or something which is a bug. as it will pick a random one. Also I'm not sure why it would depend on the non-graphical browser virtual package (www-browser) instead of a graphical browser (x-www-browser).

There's no way for repositories to declare the default provider of a
virtual package, unfortunately. An approach would be default-x-www-
browser | x-www-browser but it's also suboptimal.

** Package changed: apt (Ubuntu) => gimp-help (Ubuntu)

** Changed in: gimp-help (Ubuntu)

Title:
  www-browser is not satisfied by the default Firefox snap

Status in gimp-help package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  When installing a package that has the virtual-package www-browser as
  a dependency, the Firefox snap is not taken into account.

  This leads to wslu being installed on Ubuntu 22.04 Desktop (notably
  when installing the GIMP translation packages), which breaks the ding
  desktop behaviour:
