| Summary | 0005804: Package Chromium missing after `apt upgrade` | ||||
| Description | The package for the browser Chromium is no longer available through package management after a `apt upgrade` command. The .deb files are still available in the repository: http://http.kali.org/pool/main/c/chromium/. The version located in the http repo directory is: 76.0. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Reproduce through a Docker container: - `docker pull kalilinux/kali-linux-docker` - `NAME=kali-test; docker run --rm -it --name ${NAME} --hostname ${NAME} kalilinux/kali-linux-docker bash` Run the information command on the package: - `apt-cache show chromium` Partial output: ``` Package: chromium Version: 76.0.3809.100-1 ``` Update apt: `apt update` Run the information command on the package: - `apt-cache show chromium` Partial output: ``` N: Can't select versions from package 'chromium' as it is purely virtual N: No packages found ``` | ||||
| Additional Information | The version seems to be removed by Debian: https://pkg.kali.org/pkg/chromium. Debian 10 itself uses chromium 78.0. https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/chromium | ||||

Small correction: `apt upgrade` should be `apt update` |
|
|
I'm importing chromium from debian unstable but we are lacking a build for armhf. Not sure that the package will migrate to kali-rolling. |

|
I re-added the former version of chromium. |
