Hi The old nss version will be available in wheezy. The new version is available in wheezy+security only. So it should be available already now without me doing any changes. This actually look like a problem for jessie too. See this post here:

Hi all I have now analyzed the problem and the problem is that libfreebl3.so have been split into a libfreebl3.so that is pre-loaded and a libfreeblpriv3.so that is dynamically loaded by libfreebl3.so. This works well in many situations but apparently not in google chrome. I guess this is because

Hi Jiri As I understand it is not supported at all. It does not mean that it will break automatically (as in the ruby-rails-2.3 example you gave) but we can not maintain it in a good way. One of the main reason for it not being supported is that the later versions do not even build on wheezy and

Hello all, there is still one thing, that is unclear for me. Chromium is security unsupported package. But does it also mean, that it is unsupported at all (can be non-function after install by apt-get install chromium)? I am aware, that wheezy chromium package is quite outdated for today web.

Hi Holger and Ben Thanks for the feedback. I'll check whether upstream chrome or chromium can be installed and is usable on wheezy. If chrome or chromium is uninstallable on wheezy, then is this an issue? I would see it as that, but maybe outside LTS scope. // Ola On 2 November 2016 at 00:50,

Hi Ben, Balint and others I'd like to have some advice on this regression. 1) Is this worth investigating? - Chrome is not supported, however we have now made it to crash. Ben obviously like that but maybe others do not have the same opinion. 2) Is this severe enough for me to revert the nss
