Title:
Upgrading from 19.04 to 19.10 will keep the 19.04 chromium-browser due
to a higher version than the transitional deb in 19.10
Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in chromium-browser source package in Eoan:
Fix Released
Bug description:
[Impact]
Users upgrading from 19.04 to 19.10 will not get the latest chromium snap
replacing the chromium-browser deb package as intended.
This is because the version number in 19.04 is greater than the version in
19.10. Bumping the version number in 19.10 is enough to fix this.
[Test Case]
* On a machine running 19.04, ensure that the chromium snap is *not*
installed, then install the chromium-browser deb package: sudo apt install
chromium-browser
* Upgrade that machine to Ubuntu 19.10
* When upgrading, the chromium-browser package becomes a transitional
package that installs the chromium snap
* Verify that the chromium snap is installed
[Regression Potential]
* The chromium snap has some known shortcomings and regressions compared to
the deb package, they are being tracked at
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bugs?field.tag=snap.
Auto-upgrading users from the deb to the snap is the desired behaviour though.
* Version 79.0.3945.79-0ubuntu0.19.10.2 which is being uploaded also
contains a couple of minor unrelated changes, but those are harmless. They are
included because they were already pushed to the source package's VCS:

[Original Description]
19.04 has got a higher version chromium-browser now than the
transitional deb package that install the snap version, so the 19.04
version will be kept when someone upgrades since 19.04 got a higher
version, and then no further updates.
