Summary0005804: 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

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.
