Hello there, regarding just replacing chrome I ran into issues which I seem to be unable to resolve:



Anyone more knowledgeable who could help me?
(uninstalling chromium is not possible)

Ah, looks like some apt packages have been marked "hold".

If that's not enough of a hint, I'll need to spin up a copy of 8.2.2 (all my players are running pre-release versions of 8.2.3 at the moment) to make sure I suggest the correct work-around for that release.

Regards,

OK, so on an 8.2.2 player I ran apt-mark to see what packages are marked

Code:

pi@mmoode:~ $ apt-mark showhold
alsa-cdsp
alsacap
bluez-alsa-utils
camilladsp
camillagui
caps
chromium-browser
chromium-browser-l10n
chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra
libasound2-plugin-bluez
librespot
mediainfo
minidlna
moode-player
mpd
python3-libupnpp
raspberrypi-kernel
shairport-sync
squeezelite
trx
udisks
udisks-glue
upmpdcli

You'll notice that three chromium-related packages are marked hold.

This could also be determined using the dpkg command

Code:

pi@moode:~ $ dpkg --get-selections chromium*
chromium-browser                hold
chromium-browser-l10n                hold
chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra            hold

You can unhold these packages one at a time or go-for-broke and do all chromium-related packages at once

Code:

pi@moode:~ $ sudo apt-mark unhold chromium-browser
...repeat for the other two packages...

# or

pi@moode:~ $ sudo apt-mark unhold chromium-*

Note that in the latter case you'll get a lot of lines about packages which are "already not hold" in addition to the three "cancelled hold" packages. 

Now you're on your own.

Regards,
Kent
