Package: chromium Version: 38.0.2125.101-2+b1 Severity: important User: debian-...@lists.debian.org Usertags: debian-edu
I discovered this in Debian Edu, where we grep the log for error messages during testing, and report all errors found to the user. Setting severity important as these messages add noise to the list of errors that need to be addressed in Debian Edu. When installing chromium for the first time using tasksel in debian-installer, these messages show up in the installation log: Oct 21 09:39:57 in-target: Selecting previously unselected package chromium.

I guess the bug is in the preinst or config files, as the messages show up before unpackaging. -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
