If the profile is managed, it seems that local data is deleted - at least it becomes unusable, so it might as well be deleted. If that is avoidable, it would be good to do so. I can understand why you would want to delete the local data associated with a managed profile in some circumstances, but "Google deprecated an API" doesn't seem like one of them.
Another mitigation would be to provide a message that makes it clearer that the problem is with Chromium and not with the managed account. That would save a lot of wasted time between employees and their company tech support. (Though maybe it's too late for this to be useful - perhaps everyone who is going to hit this bug has done so already.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1917705 Title: "profile will be deleted" at startup after chromium 89 update To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1917705/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
