Since chromium-browser in 20.04 is a mostly empty transitional package that installs the chromium snap, all that's needed to fix this is to bump its version number. [Impact] Users upgrading from 18.04 to 20.04 will not get the latest chromium snap replacing the chromium-browser deb package as intended. This is because the version number in 18.04 is (will soon be) greater than the version in 20.04. Bumping the version number in 20.04 is enough to fix this. [Test Case] * Ensure that chromium-browser 84.0.4147.89-0ubuntu0.18.04.2 is available in bionic-{security,updates} * On a machine running 18.04, ensure that the chromium snap is *not* installed, then install the chromium-browser deb package: sudo apt install chromium-browser * Upgrade that machine to Ubuntu 20.04 * When upgrading, the chromium-browser package becomes a transitional package that installs the chromium snap * Verify that the chromium snap is installed [Regression Potential] * The chromium snap has some known shortcomings and regressions compared to the deb package, they are being tracked at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium- browser/+bugs?field.tag=snap. Auto-upgrading users from the deb to the snap is the desired behaviour though.
