[Pkg-chromium-maint] Bug#851779: chromium: crashes at startup

[Guy Durrieu]

Package: chromium
Version: 55.0.2883.75-4
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

Since last recent release, chromium does not start anymore.

Wen typing the command in a shell, I get the following message:

---

chromium
/usr/bin/chromium: 122: /usr/bin/chromium: Syntax error: "fi" unexpected 
(expecting "}")---

-- 

but when having a look to the script, I do not understand why this 
syntax error appears.

Thanks in advance for your help !

Regards.

-- GD.
