Package: chromium Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
I see that nobody complained about this bug [1] This problem is somehow well-known these days in the Internet, look for "allow chromium sign-in" in a web search engine. After an upgrade (I don't remember exactly what version) chromium did an opt-in that says: By turning this off, you can sign in to Google sites like Gmail without signing in to Chromium I think that debian policy does not allow to opt-in data transmission (google account synchronization) without warning and without user consent. At least, this does not look to be very fair. Sorry for not providing any solution, at least I participated warning about the issue Cheers, Pedeb [1] https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=chromium;dist=unstable -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.6 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-8-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages chromium depends on: ii libasound2 1.1.3-5 pn libatk1.0-0 <none> pn libatomic1 <none> pn libavcodec57 | libavcodec-extra57 <none> pn libavformat57 <none> pn libavutil55 <none> ii libc6 2.24-11+deb9u3 pn libcairo2 <none> pn libcups2 <none> ii libdbus-1-3 1.10.26-0+deb9u1 pn libdrm2 <none> ii libevent-2.0-5 2.0.21-stable-3 ii libexpat1 2.2.0-2+deb9u1 pn libflac8 <none> ii libfontconfig1 2.11.0-6.7+b1 ii libfreetype6 2.6.3-3.2 ii libgcc1 1:6.3.0-18+deb9u1 pn libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 <none> ii libglib2.0-0 2.50.3-2 pn libgtk2.0-0 <none> ii libicu57 57.1-6+deb9u2 ii libjpeg62-turbo 1:1.5.1-2 pn libminizip1 <none> pn libnspr4 <none> pn libnss3 <none> pn libopenjp2-7 <none> pn libopus0 <none> pn libpango-1.0-0 <none> pn libpangocairo-1.0-0 <none> pn libpangoft2-1.0-0 <none> ii libpci3 1:3.5.2-1 ii libpng16-16 1.6.28-1 pn libpulse0 <none> pn libre2-3 <none> pn libsnappy1v5 <none> ii libstdc++6 6.3.0-18+deb9u1 pn libvpx4 <none> ii libwebp6 0.5.2-1 pn libwebpdemux2 <none> pn libwebpmux2 <none> ii libx11-6 2:1.6.4-3+deb9u1 pn libx11-xcb1 <none> ii libxcb1 1.12-1 pn libxcomposite1 <none> pn libxcursor1 <none> pn libxdamage1 <none> pn libxext6 <none> pn libxfixes3 <none> pn libxi6 <none> ii libxml2 2.9.4+dfsg1-2.2+deb9u2 pn libxrandr2 <none> pn libxrender1 <none> ii libxslt1.1 1.1.29-2.1 pn libxss1 <none> pn libxtst6 <none> pn x11-utils <none> pn xdg-utils <none> ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-5 Versions of packages chromium recommends: pn fonts-liberation <none> pn libgl1-mesa-dri <none> Versions of packages chromium suggests: pn chromium-driver <none> pn chromium-l10n <none> pn chromium-shell <none> pn chromium-widevine <none>
