Title:
Does not register as x-www-browser alternative

Fix Released
Status in chromium-browser source package in Eoan:

Status in chromium-browser source package in Focal:
Fix Released
Bug description:
[Impact]
Low. When installing chromium-browser in eoan/focal (which is a
transitional package that installs the chromium snap), update-
alternatives cannot be used to set it as x-www-browser or gnome-www-
browser. This is a regression compared to the version of chromium-
browser in bionic.
[Test case]
# update-alternatives --set x-www-browser /usr/bin/chromium-browser
update-alternatives: error: alternative /usr/bin/chromium-browser for
x-www-browser not registered; not setting
[Regression potential]
This is fixing a regression by adding back a code snippet that was in
the package in bionic and previous releases. If the snippet has
incorrect syntax, it could possibly prevent installation of the
package. If the package installs fine, it's unlikely that anything
could have regressed.
