Package: chromium-browser Version: 9.0.587.0~r66374-1 Severity: normal When I attempted to download a PDF today, Chromium warned me that PDFs may be potentially unsafe. While I understand that many current security problems have to do with exploiting Adobe Reader, I use evince (and don't even have Reader installed), and therefore am no more likely to have my computer be exploited by a PDF than I am by a .doc file.
If Chromium wants to warn about PDFs if Adobe Reader is installed, that's fine, but I don't want it to warn me when it's not. And furthermore, there's no option to switch off this useless warning. Please modify it accordingly or extirpate it altogether. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages chromium-browser depends on: ii chromium-browser-ins 9.0.587.0~r66374-1 page inspector for the chromium-br ii libasound2 1.0.23-2.1 shared library for ALSA applicatio ii libbz2-1.0 1.0.5-6 high-quality block-sorting file co ii libc6 2.11.2-7 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libcairo2 1.8.10-6 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libcups2 1.4.4-7 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii libdbus-1-3 1.2.24-3 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.88-2 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libevent-1.4-2 1.4.13-stable-1 An asynchronous event notification ii libexpat1 2.0.1-7 XML parsing C library - runtime li ii libfontconfig1 2.8.0-2.1 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.4.2-2.1 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libgcc1 1:4.5.1-9 GCC support library ii libgconf2-4 2.28.1-6 GNOME configuration database syste ii libgcrypt11 1.4.5-2 LGPL Crypto library - runtime libr ii libglib2.0-0 2.27.3-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.20.1-2 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libicu44 4.4.2-2 International Components for Unico ii libjpeg62 6b1-1 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii libnspr4-0d 4.8.6-1 NetScape Portable Runtime Library ii libnss3-1d 3.12.8-1 Network Security Service libraries ii libpango1.0-0 1.28.3-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libpng12-0 1.2.44-1 PNG library - runtime ii libspeex1 1.2~rc1-1 The Speex codec runtime library ii libstdc++6 4.5.1-9 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libvpx0 0.9.5-1 VP8 video codec (shared library) ii libx11-6 2:1.3.3-4 X11 client-side library ii libxdamage1 1:1.1.3-1 X11 damaged region extension libra ii libxext6 2:1.1.2-1 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxml2 2.7.8.dfsg-1 GNOME XML library ii libxrender1 1:0.9.6-1 X Rendering Extension client libra ii libxslt1.1 1.1.26-6 XSLT 1.0 processing library - runt ii libxss1 1:1.2.1-1 X11 Screen Saver extension library ii libxtst6 2:1.2.0-1 X11 Testing -- Record extension li ii xdg-utils 1.0.2+cvs20100307-3 desktop integration utilities from ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 compression library - runtime chromium-browser recommends no packages.
