Public bug reported:
Release: Ubuntu 14.04
Package: chromium-browser_37.0.2062.120-0ubuntu0.14.04.1~pkg1049
After updating to the latest version indicated above this morning I
found out that this version no longer loads my configured policies from
/etc/chromium-browser/policies/*.
Running 'strings /usr/lib/chromium-browser/chromium-browser|grep
policies' I noticed that in the new version the path vor policies
changed to /etc/chromium/policies.
After creating a symlink /etc/chromium -> chromium-browser and
restarting the browser my policies were loaded again.
I think this is a serious regression from the previous version
(37.0.2062.94-0ubuntu0.14.04.1~pkg1042) for enterprise users where we
want to lock down certain features in the browser and after this
security update suddenly all policies are not loaded/enforced anymore.
