This morning someone was trying to get away with de-installing chromium-common and c++ software using the debian update process.
They need to be stopped forthwith.

Supposedly it is a maintainer error:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1089181

The respondent claims adding the bookworm-proposed-updates repository
will correct the issue. I don't see the needed packages of libc++1-19
and libc++abi1-19 in the following directory listing:

https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/bookworm-proposed-updates/

I do wear reading glasses these days so that might be why.

I am just holding off on the Chromium update until this is resolved
through the security repository.

Greetings,

Some is offering de-installs of chromium in the normal debian update
process, they need to be stopped.

This morning someone was trying to get away with de-installing
chromium-common and c++ software using the debian update process.
They need to be stopped forthwith.

Good luck.

Look at message #47 to bug:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1089181

which has a link to:

https://lists.debian.org/debian-stable-announce/2024/12/msg00000.html

which advises to use "apt full-upgrade". As I was seeing the failure
when trying to upgrade through the aptitude TUI, exiting that and using
the advised command installed the new libs and the updated chromium
package.

I often use the advised command on other machines I maintain but not
this one so that caught me out.
