[Pkg-chromium-maint] Bug#851692: chromium: startup script is disabling all extensions

[Onur Aslan]

Package: chromium
Version: 55.0.2883.75-4
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

After upgrading chromium:amd64 55.0.2883.75-3 -> 55.0.2883.75-4, startup script
disabled all my extensions and I was unable to install any extension from chromium
web store.

I had to comment out following lines from /usr/bin/chromium to run my extensions:

# Whitelist installed extensions that are specified via --load-extension
if [ $want_remote_extensions -eq 0 ]; then
  export CHROMIUM_FLAGS="$CHROMIUM_FLAGS --disable-extensions-except=$(echo $CHROMIUM_FLAGS | tr ' ' \\n | grep \\-\\-load-extension | cut -d= -f2 | tr \\n ,)"
fi
