Confirmed fixed with chromium-browser 81.0.4044.129-0ubuntu0.20.04.1 from focal-proposed.
I verified chromium-browser didn't appear in the list of reverse provides for x-www-browser and gnome-www-browser in a fully up-to-date focal VM, then I enabled focal-proposed for universe, ran "apt update", and verified that it did appear for both. ** Tags removed: verification-needed-focal ** Tags added: verification-done-focal -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to chromium-browser in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1815289 Title: Please add Provides: gnome-www-browser Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in chromium-browser source package in Eoan: In Progress Status in chromium-browser source package in Focal: Fix Committed Bug description: [Impact] Low. Some Debian packages depend on gnome-www-browser, and chromium- browser should be marked as providing it (similarly, it should provide x-www-browser). For instance, cinnamon-desktop-environment depends on gnome-www- browser and it doesn't have the chromium-browser name in the alternates (it has Debian's chromium name instead). [Test case] The output of `apt-cache showpkg gnome-www-browser` after the "Reverse Provides:" line should contain a chromium-browser entry. Similarly for `apt-cache showpkg x-www-browser`. [Regression potential] This is adding a couple of "provides" entries to the control file. Regressions could happen if other packages depending on or recommending gnome-www-browser (or x-www-browser) were implicitly relying on the fact that chromium-browser wasn't a candidate, but that sounds unlikely, and in any case something that should be fixed in thoses packages.
