[Pkg-chromium-maint] Bug#751956: chromium-browser: Upgrading chromium-browser to 35.0.1916.153-1~deb7u1 broke java and flash plugins

[Heikki Levanto]

Package: chromium-browser
Version: 35.0.1916.153-1~deb7u1
Severity: normal

When upgrading my machine (regular apt-get upgrade), I got a new chromium:
   chromium-browser:amd64 (35.0.1916.114-1~deb7u2, 35.0.1916.153-1~deb7u1)
Both flash and java plugins stopped working. Chromium tells me that I have to
install a plugin.

chrome:plugins shows no trace of these plugins, only lists Chromoting Viewer
(Disabled). Both plugins worked fine before the upgrade.

Both plugins work on IceWeasel, which makes me think that the problem is with
Chromium itself, and not the plugins.

I have tried to run update-flashplugin-nonfree, made no difference.

This happened on two separate (but similar) machines, which makes me think
that the problem is not isolated to my machine, but is in the chromium 
itself.


I hope I have given enough information. If not, feel free to ask for more.
