That's what I at first thought, but that can't be it. The installed versions of all that's Chrome on my system hasn't changed since support stopped a month ago, either before or after installing Opera twice. I had even removed the Chrome repo, too. It looks like if you already have Chrome installed, unsupported or not, Opera doesn't overwrite those files with up-to-date ones. It just uses what's already there. So, I still have old, now unsupported versions of the 4 standard plugins/extensions that come default with Chrome and, thus, Opera. The curiosity is that last week when I first installed Opera, and immediately updated/upgraded, it ran fine. No problems. A week later, it wouldn't. And as far as I can determined, it hadn't been upgraded in that week. I also checked dependencies, and Wheezy generously met them. But something had to have changed. I just can't find out what. Anyway, this is all academic. I won't be using Opera on Wheezy. It's been too much a bother. However, I wonder if other LTS distros have had this problem? B
