** Description changed: - This concern chromium 80.0.3987.162 (snap package) in Ubuntu focal. + [Impact] - After installing the package, update-alternatives(1) cannot set x-www- - browser to point to /usr/bin/chromium-browser: + Low. When installing chromium-browser in eoan/focal (which is a + transitional package that installs the chromium snap), update- + alternatives cannot be used to set it as x-www-browser or gnome-www- + browser. This is a regression compared to the version of chromium- + browser in bionic. - # update-alternatives --set x-www-browser /usr/bin/chromium-browser - update-alternatives: error: alternative /usr/bin/chromium-browser for x-www-browser not registered; not setting - This worked correctly with the previous non-snap chromium-browser - package. + [Test case] + + # update-alternatives --set x-www-browser /usr/bin/chromium-browser + update-alternatives: error: alternative /usr/bin/chromium-browser for x-www-browser not registered; not setting + + + [Regression potential] + + This is fixing a regression by adding back a code snippet that was in + the package in bionic and previous releases. If the snippet has + incorrect syntax, it could possibly prevent installation of the package. + If the package installs fine, it's unlikely that anything could have + regressed.
