2015-10-20 Thread Charles Chambers
I just had google-chrome-stable update to Version 46.0.2490.71-1 via System update. There's an open bug I reported to Google on this exact version. I checked bugs.debian.org and find that google-chrome-stable has no package maintainer within the Debian organization to which bugs are reported.
