chromium 150.0.7871.46 1~deb13u1 sploded

chromium-150.0.7871.46-1~deb13u1 crashes immediately because of this bug introduced during degooglification.

apt-listbugs

Based on comments in this thread I installed apt-listbugs. The idea is that it checks for dealbreaking bugs before installation and gives you a chance to pin the existing version so it won’t upgrade. Then when the bug is fixed it’s unpinned and upgradeable. Neat!

reverting to the prior version

But that doesn’t help me with the existing crashiness. apt list -a chromium showed this output:

chromium/stable-security 150.0.7871.46-1~deb13u1 amd64 [upgradable from: 147.0.7727.137-1~deb13u1]
chromium/stable,now 147.0.7727.137-1~deb13u1 amd64 [installed,upgradable to: 150.0.7871.46-1~deb13u1]

chromium/stable-security 150.0.7871.46-1~deb13u1 i386
chromium/stable 147.0.7727.137-1~deb13u1 i386

so I put the old one back in:

sudo apt install chromium-common=147.0.7727.137-1~deb13u1
sudo apt install chromium=147.0.7727.137-1~deb13u1
sudo apt install chromium-sandbox=147.0.7727.137-1~deb13u1

and we’re back in business.
