This bug was fixed in the package chromium-browser - 2:1snap1-0ubuntu1 --------------- chromium-browser (2:1snap1-0ubuntu1) noble; urgency=low
* Modify the version scheme of the package (LP: #2007702). Epoch bumped to 2. Since this is a package that install the Chromium snap, there is no point in updating it just for the sake of the version number whenever there is a new Chromium release. On the other hand, we don't want to leave it stuck in a number such as 85 because it misleads users into believing the package will install Chromium 85, which would be severily outdated. -- Nathan Pratta Teodosio <nathan.teodo...@canonical.com> Mon, 13 Nov 2023 10:20:10 +0100 ** Changed in: chromium-browser (Ubuntu) Status: Fix Committed => Fix Released -- 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/2007702 Title: Deb version numbering is misleading Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: For Ubuntu >= Focal the transitional debs are frozen at the version number 1:85... This might make one think[1][2] that it will install a critically outdated Chromium while it does not, because it installs the snap.
