Hello. Apparently chromium is no longer supported in Wheezy for the near
and distant future. And that, as they say in French, explains that.

Thank you.

Thank you. I didn't think of exploring that angle of my problem.

Hi, Curt.. I can't give you insight on the error because(y) mine's
working ok. Sounded at least slightly familiar so I quick searched my
inbox. Got 2 emails that I then searched the Net and found you
these...

https://www.debian.org/security/2016/dsa-3688

"Debian Security Advisory [k/t Debian-Security list]

DSA-3688-1 nss -- security update
Date Reported: 05 Oct 2016
Affected Packages: nss
Vulnerable: Yes"

https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2016/11/msg00136.html

It's recent Debian-User, and Wheezy gets a mention..

Hope that helps at least a little.. :)

Cindy :)
