I installed Opera last week to test and it worked fine, but this
week it refuses to load.*  So, purged it.  Decided to manually set up
opera repo, etc. instead of downloading the deb file from Opera as
I had done originally.  As yet haven't reinstalled.  Thought I'd check
on Chromium first.

  the Oracle noticed stated (and purging 6) caused the problem.
