This can be fixed by reinstalling the konqueror package. The problem is that chromium use xdg-open to know which software to use to open a file which is dependent on kfmclient and that is in the konqueror package. Two solutions are possible: * separate kfmclient from the konqueror package and put it in a kfmclient package and make xdg-utils dependant on kfmclient. * make xdg-utils dependant on konqueror.
