Public bug reported:
I'm on an ARM system, but I'm guessing this could happen on x86 or x64
too.
I start with a stock raring (13.04) install that does not have the
raring-updates debian package location in /etc/apt/sources.list. I
install xubuntu-desktop and chromium-browser. The last package also
installs a chromium-codecs-ffmpeg package. Without the updates I get
version 25 of the browser. I want the latest stable (v31), but
upgrading some packages breaks my graphics driver (hidden in a mesa
library I heard). So I add the raring-updates location and only upgrade
"chromium-browser". This also grabbed the chromium language package,
but it did not upgrade chromium-codecs-ffmpeg. Afterwards if I try to
view google.com, about a second after the page loads I get an "Aw Snap!"
and the chromium log has this.

But if I manually also upgrade chromium-codecs-ffmpeg to the latest
version I can view google.com fine. I assume this means there is a
missing dependency for the newer version of the ffmpeg codecs pack in
the current chromium-browser package. I've tried to grab dependency
information for chromium-browser below.
$ apt-cache showpkg chromium-browser

I'm not sure how to read the values listed for the version required of
chromium-codecs-ffmpeg (0.6?), but the package that I end up with after
the upgrade looks to be version 31 like the browser proper, and I'd
guess they should be in sync with each other.
