They should be there, not as files, but as symlinks. > Trying to install both those packages tells me they are "already > the newest version" so nothing to install? > > Update, upgrade and reboot doesn't fix it. What versions are those packages at, according to e.g. 'apt-cache policy [packagename]'? What about the libavutil55 and libavformat57 packages? I have: $ apt-cache policy chromium chromium: Installed: 53.0.2785.143-1 Candidate: 53.0.2785.143-1 Version table: *** 53.0.2785.143-1 500 500 http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian testing/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 53.0.2785.143-1~deb8u1 500 500 http://security.debian.org stable/updates/main amd64 Packages 53.0.2785.89-1~deb8u1 500 500 http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian stable/main amd64 Packages $ apt-cache policy libavutil55 libavutil55: Installed: 7:3.2-2 Candidate: 7:3.2-2 Version table: *** 7:3.2-2 500 500 http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian testing/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status $ apt-cache policy libavformat57 libavformat57: Installed: 7:3.2-2 Candidate: 7:3.2-2 Version table: *** 7:3.2-2 500 500 http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian testing/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status and I don't have goldendict installed. When I launch chromium from a terminal, I don't get the error you report. (I do get a different message, but it looks like "normal" Chromium console spam; I'm not sure I've ever had a nontrivial Chromium session with no console messages.) -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
