Hi,
there was a recent upload
[2025-03-06] Accepted chromium 134.0.6998.35-1~deb12u1 (source amd64 all) into
stable-security (Debian FTP Masters) (signed by: Andres Salomon)
to stable-security which upgraded chromium from 133 to 134. Unfortunately, it
seems that such an upgrade has broken python3-selenium, which hasn't been
upgraded in stable since 4.8.3+dfsg-1, March 2023.
Now when using python3-selenium I get
========
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line , in setUp
self.selenium = webdriver.Chrome(options=chrome_options)

selenium.common.exceptions.SessionNotCreatedException: Message: session not
created
from unknown error: cannot find Chrome binary
=========
while, on the same set up, on March 3 I wasn't getting any error, which to me
suggests that the issue is caused by the upgrade from 133 to 134.
While the bug is due to an upload to stable-security, this isn't reporting a
security
issue per se, rather a usability one.
How can a working python3-selenium be restored for bookworm users?
Thanks,
Francesco
