[Pkg-chromium-maint] Bug#857261: chromium-widevine: widevine extension no longer works

[Enrico Rossi]

Package: chromium-widevine
Version: 56.0.2924.76-5
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

With the upgrade to v.56.0 this extension no longer works.
Trying to force the load of the extensions to chromium doesn't work
either.

No matter how I try to enable the extension, I got "Failed to load
extension from: . Manifest file is missing or unreadable."

Thanks
E.
