[Pkg-chromium-maint] Bug#843624: Bug#843624: chromium: since upgrade to latest libnss3-1d chromium shows only "Aw, Snap!"

thanks

Hi

Yes the problem is known. However it turned out that a solution was not
really easy to implement.

The conclusion was that no fix will be done. The solution if you really
want to run a unsupported chrome on wheezy is to downgrade libnss3 and hold
it so it will not be upgraded.

You are advised to run a supported chrome version, that is to upgrade to
stable.
