Subject description: Wrong default application for PDF files defined		  
/usr/share/applications/defaults.list

contains the entry application/pdf=epdfview.desktop for PDF files
This leads to malfunction if an application try to use the defined default application for PDF files ( e.g. Seamonkey under Slacko, because epdfview is not installed )

correct entry should be application/pdf=defaultpdfviewer.desktop

Code:

--- old/defaults.list   2017-12-20 14:44:30.935552590 +0100
+++ new/defaults.list   2017-12-20 12:11:24.000000000 +0100

Which puppy is that?
In Lucid 5.2.8.7, I have changed to xpdf in /etc/mailcap, /usr/bin/defaulthandler and /usr/local/PupApps/defaultapps/pdfreader.

No, no, no, no, phat7! Shocked I am sure that what you really meant is:
defaultpdfviewer.desktop => /usr/local/bin/defaultpdfviewer => xpdf Laughing

Yes, I did just now, the post kind of drowned in colored text, so I missed it the first time! Embarassed
It was the same default application choise in Lucid too, same source I guess.

consider that /usr/local/bin/defaultpdfviewer becomes overwritten by pinstall.sh
