Hi!

Since 42.0.2311.135-1, it is not possible to start Chromium through a
symlink (like through the alternative system for x-www-browser for
example).

Chromium wrapper script contains:

APPNAME=`basename $0`
$LIBDIR/$APPNAME $CHROMIUM_FLAGS "$@"

So, I get that:

/usr/bin/x-www-browser: 95: exec: /usr/lib/chromium/x-www-browser: not found

In the previous versions of the script APPNAME was set to "chromium".
