Then you need not worry, as all dependencies are cared for :)

You are probably correct. What happens is that Pyblio calls a gnome
function url_show, which presumably uses a file/application asociation
that is either not available or defaulting to an application that you
don't have.

I overlooked this possibility, it's using the button embedded in the
entry display.

This function makes use of another file asociation table than Pyblio
does. Please try to use the View/Resource submenu (Control-Shift-V) or
the entry's pop up menu instead.
