[Software] [Solved] [Software] Chromium removed and cannot reinstall

[Galactic]

Hi

I performed an "apt update" and "apt upgrade" and did not pay attention and pressed yes on everything and then realized that chromium got removed from the installed packages, when I tried to reinstall it I got this error message



And when I used synaptic package manager to see which version I can install I found this one and it works but it's outdated and not the last one and I cannot install the last one



I can install only the "stable security"

And not stable



How do I solve this and what is the difference between "stable" and "stable security"

Thanks!

Are you sure it was removed? Here the package upgrades from security were kept back but the old version is still there.

And please use code tags for commands, terminal text etc. rather than images. It's easier to read and also searchable.

Yeah, those are Trixie's dependencies, it's for real.
And it's still not fixed.

I was going to make a thread titled something like "Is Chromium's -chommon package chaput?", but I thought better of it.

I think I would prefer a package from stable security.

The stable version apparently had a vulnerability, which happens, so the maintainers patched and pushed the update:

https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/DSA-5824-1

https://lists.debian.org/debian-securit ... 00240.html

(NB I see a more informed answer was posted.)

Yes it got removed, and I cannot reinstall it so I had to install the previous version which 130 not 131

Aha that explain it, what should we do now, how do we fix this mess?

I'm wondering about the difference between "stable-security" and "stable" any ideas?

Also, how can we fix this mess now since there are problems with dependencies..

stable-security is the official Debian repository for frequent security updates.

How to fix? Wait for the maintainer to fix it. Report a big like this https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrepo ... ug=1089224

@Galactic temporary fix mentioned here https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrepo ... 1089224#17

It seems that the update needs a few packages from stable-proposed
updates, to get you go again, you might want to (temporarily) enable
this suite:

Add

deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian bookworm-proposed-updates main

to your /etc/apt/sources.list

and you should be able to to install chromium with

apt install chromium.

You can then remove the bookworm-proposed-updates line again.

Ah that does the trick, thank you very much
