For the record, I was able to find disco builds here:

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/disco/amd64/chromium-chromedriver

(mutatis mutandis for chromium-browser and chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-
extra). After removing the snap and the 79 apt packages, an install with
"dpkg -i" restored a working system.

Title:
  Snap packaging breaks chromedriver (as used for Selenium)

Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I develop using Selenium-over-chromedriver on a current 19.10.Here are
  the chrome versions I have (dpkg side):

  ii  chromium-browser                              
79.0.3945.79-0ubuntu0.19.10.2               amd64        Transitional package - 
chromium-browser -> chromium snap
  ii  chromium-chromedriver                         
79.0.3945.79-0ubuntu0.19.10.2               amd64        Transitional package - 
chromium-chromedriver -> chromium snap

  I know a recent upgrade introduced snap-based packages for chromium
  79, and now I find that all my tests fail to run. Under the cover,
  this seems to be the problem:

      $ /usr/bin/chromedriver
      cannot perform operation: mount --rbind /home 
/tmp/snap.rootfs_ZmHWri//home: Permission denied

  I'm not familiar with snap, but I see possibly related issues:

  - (Different error message, but headline is similar) upstream at
  https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/issues/7788

  - Some references in Google that snap might not be happy with $HOME
  not being under /home, and note that I have a historic installation of
  ZFS, with /home as a (soft)link to /main, not a "normal" top level
  directory, and with my home set as follows:

      $ echo $HOME
      /main/srhaque

  I'm happy to help diagnose further, but am not sure what might be
  relevant. Any clues welcome as I am rather stuck.
