Public bug reported:
update-manager displays the release notes before performing an operating
system upgrade. The release notes window is running as the root user,
and contains clickable links. Clicking on these links attempts to run a
web browser as the root user. This fails with Chromium, which just
refuses, and is probably considered unhealthy if a less anal web browser
is configured as the default.
