It appears that there is an implicit dependency of chromium upon libsecret-1-0 . I had to upgrade it from:
dpkg -l libsecret-1-0 Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend |/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Architecture Description +++-==============-============-============-================================= ii libsecret-1-0: 0.15-2 amd64 Secret store to dpkg -l libsecret-1-0 Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend |/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Architecture Description +++-==============-============-============-================================= ii libsecret-1-0: 0.18-1+b1 amd64 Secret store It now works and doesn't crash.
