** Description changed: + [Impact] + + Users upgrading from 19.04 to 19.10 will not get the latest chromium snap replacing the chromium-browser deb package as intended. + This is because the version number in 19.04 is greater than the version in 19.10. Bumping the version number in 19.10 is enough to fix this. + + [Test Case] + + * On a machine running 19.04, ensure that the chromium snap is *not* installed, then install the chromium-browser deb package: sudo apt install chromium-browser + * Upgrade that machine to Ubuntu 19.10 + * When upgrading, the chromium-browser package becomes a transitional package that installs the chromium snap + * Verify that the chromium snap is installed + + [Regression Potential] + + * The chromium snap has some known shortcomings and regressions compared to the deb package, they are being tracked at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bugs?field.tag=snap. Auto-upgrading users from the deb to the snap is the desired behaviour though. + * Version 79.0.3945.79-0ubuntu0.19.10.2 which is being uploaded also contains a couple of minor unrelated changes, but those are harmless. They are included because they were already pushed to the source package's VCS: + - https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~chromium-team/chromium-browser/eoan-stable/revision/1525 + - https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~chromium-team/chromium-browser/eoan-stable/revision/1526 + + [Original Description] + 19.04 has got a higher version chromium-browser now than the transitional deb package that install the snap version, so the 19.04 version will be kept when someone upgrades since 19.04 got a higher version, and then no further updates. apt show chromium-browser -a Package: chromium-browser Version: 79.0.3945.79-0ubuntu0.19.04.3 Status: install ok installed Priority: optional Section: web Maintainer: Ubuntu Developers <[email protected]> Installed-Size: 225 MB Provides: chromium-browser-inspector, www-browser Pre-Depends: dpkg (>= 1.15.6) Depends: libasound2 (>= 1.0.16), libatk-bridge2.0-0 (>= 2.5.3), libatk1.0-0 (>= 2.2.0), libatspi2.0-0 (>= 2.9.90), libc6 (>= 2.29), libcairo2 (>= 1.6.0), libcups2 (>= 1.4.0), libdbus-1-3 (>= 1.9.14), libexpat1 (>= 2.0.1), libgcc1 (>= 1:4.0), libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 (>= 2.22.0), libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.31.8), libgtk-3-0 (>= 3.9.10), libnspr4 (>= 2:4.9-2~), libnss3 (>= 2:3.22), libpango-1.0-0 (>= 1.14.0), libpangocairo-1.0-0 (>= 1.14.0), libstdc++6 (>= 7), libx11-6 (>= 2:1.4.99.1), libx11-xcb1, libxcb1 (>= 1.6), libxcomposite1 (>= 1:0.3-1), libxcursor1 (>> 1.1.2), libxdamage1 (>= 1:1.1), libxext6, libxfixes3 (>= 1:5.0), libxi6 (>= 2:1.2.99.4), libxrandr2 (>= 2:1.2.99.3), libxrender1, libxss1, libxtst6, bash (>= 4), xdg-utils, chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra (= 79.0.3945.79-0ubuntu0.19.04.3) | chromium-codecs-ffmpeg (= 79.0.3945.79-0ubuntu0.19.04.3) Recommends: chromium-browser-l10n Suggests: webaccounts-chromium-extension, unity-chromium-extension, adobe-flashplugin Conflicts: chromium-browser-inspector Replaces: chromium-browser-inspector Homepage: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/ Download-Size: unknown APT-Manual-Installed: yes APT-Sources: /var/lib/dpkg/status Description: Chromium web browser, open-source version of Chrome - An open-source browser project that aims to build a safer, faster, and more - stable way for all Internet users to experience the web. + An open-source browser project that aims to build a safer, faster, and more + stable way for all Internet users to experience the web.
