The 'official' PPA's are in the process of being re-started. In the mean time, there is a workaround at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/FAQ/Workarounds#Chromium_not_Updating
-- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to chromium-browser in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1081518 Title: Chromium-browser package is outdated and poses a security risk Status in “chromium-browser” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: The current chromium-browser version in 12.04 is outdated (http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/chromium-browser is at version 18 when current version is 23). That were most probably security vulnerabilities that where fixed between these 2 versions, which Ubuntu chromium-browser users are still vulnerable to. The Quantal package is at version 22: http://packages.ubuntu.com/quantal/chromium-browser I see that the firefox package keeps the same version betweeen Precise and Quantal, since running an outdated browser version has security implications. The same logic should be applied to chromium-browser. Futhermore; there is a (formerly) "official" PPA at https://launchpad.net/~chromium-daily/+archive/ppa that used to maintain the latest version of each channel. This PPA is no longer maintained and according to the Chromium team's support IRC channel, it won't be maintained in the near future. I believe it is best to delete this PPA, to avoid users thinking that their browsers are up-to-date when they are not.
