Bug Description

Binary package hint: chromium-browser

FWIW I'm using the chromium package on a Debian so the dependency chain /may/ pull xdg-utils on Ubuntu.

On Debian it doesn't, and it breaks the Download files opening feature (clicking on a done download to open it in the application of choice).

I'd suggest adding a recommends on xdg-utils, or even an Depends.

$ apt-cache policy chromium-browser
chromium-browser:
  Installed: 5.0.384.0~svn20100422r45276-0ubuntu1~ucd1~jaunty
  Candidate: 5.0.384.0~svn20100422r45276-0ubuntu1~ucd1~jaunty
  Version table:
 *** 5.0.384.0~svn20100422r45276-0ubuntu1~ucd1~jaunty 0

        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

I found out because I removed a package that was depending upon xdg-utils and
was the last to, and from this moment, chromium stopped opening files from the
Download bar.

I've reinstalled it, and p00f it just works again :)
