[Pkg-chromium-maint] Bug#841401: chromium: doesn't update extensions

[Bruno Bierbaumer]

Package: chromium
Version: 53.0.2785.143-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Debian's Chromium package doesn't seem to be able to update the installed extensions.
Both the automatic update mechanism and manually triggering "Update extensions now" in chrome://extensions/ don't work.

The raw Chromium build from https://download-chromium.appspot.com/ is able to update the extensions.

Greetings,
Bruno
