Public bug reported:
Two copies of the Chromium browser were on my Ubuntu laptop. (A recent
update mentioned Chromium, so maybe that's when it happened.) They were
the same version except that one was Ubuntu's and the other was not
(75.0.3770.142 (Official Build) snap (64-bit)). I opened both but didn't
see a difference except in the version string, but I didn't explore in
depth. I checked the Ubuntu Software app and found only one listing for
Chromium and it showed as having been installed.
I decided to uninstall. There was no way visible to choose which
Chromium would be uninstalled.
The result was that the Ubuntu one uninstalled but the non-Ubuntu one
stayed. The Ubuntu Software app then said that Chromium was not
installed, although actually the non-Ubuntu version of Chromium was
still present. The Ubuntu Software app has the same report even after a
cold reboot.
Since the Ubuntu Software app incorrectly says that Chromium is not
installed, I installed it ("Version 75.0.3770.142 (Official Build) Built
on Ubuntu , running on Ubuntu 18.04 (64-bit)" (sic)). This gave me two
icons for Chromium, so I uninstalled one, with the same result as above.
No crash was apparent at any stage.
I prefer that I be given a choice of which version to uninstall and that
the Ubuntu Software app recognize that an app is currently installed.
