Package: chromium-browser Version: 9.0.587.0~r66374-1 Severity: important I am currently trying to determine the source of a bug that when viewing a certain site, causes the GPU to lock up, necessitating a reboot. Since I didn't experience this with Chromium 6, I decided to downgrade to see if that would solve the problem.
Unfortunately, Chromium does not allow downgrading. All my tabs are now sad tabs, and I am informed that my profile cannot be read. To say that I am exceptionally irritated would be an understatement. This has never been a problem with Firefox or Iceweasel, and I assumed (incorrectly, apparently) that this would not be a problem with Chromium. I consider this a major bug in Chromium. At the very least, there should be some serious documentation in README.Debian that explains that newer versions of Chromium autoconvert old data files and that this process is irreversible. Perhaps a debconf note might be appropriate as well. -- 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 2.31.5-1 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 2.22.0-1 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 1.28.3-2 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.
