[Pkg-chromium-maint] Bug#766850: chromium: Login to Chromium using custom API keys leads to error "Service unavailable. Try again later."

[Jean Baptiste Favre]

Package: chromium
Version: 38.0.2125.101-3
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Since upgrade to version 38, API keys are not included anymore.
To be able to use the Google Sync feature, I followed instructions given here:
www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/api-keys

I registered and get API credential which were added as ENV variables in
/etc/chromium.d/googleapikeys as follow:

export GOOGLE_API_KEY="api_key"
export GOOGLE_DEFAULT_CLIENT_ID="my_client_id.apps.googleusercontent.com"
export GOOGLE_DEFAULT_CLIENT_SECRET="client_secret"

Starting chromium with this file prevents the "API keys are missing" top bar
notification.

Trying to login with the Gmail account used to create custom API keys works,
but leads to "Service unvailable. Try again later." message.

I've double-checked my API credential without success.

Regards,
Jean Baptiste Favre
