#159537 — Google Chrome

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.

The open bug (#544160) is here:

Google bug report 
<https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=544160&colspec=ID%20Pri%20M%20Stars%20ReleaseBlock%20Cr%20Status%20Owner%20Summary%20OS%20Modified&start=300>

Two questions:

1)  How do I find and turn off the repository that google-chrome-stable 
is coming from so that it doesn't update until Google is able to fix the 
bug?  I REALLY like and use Chrome heavily.

2)  Is there anyone to report this to?

Of course not. This package is a 3rd-party package from a 3rd-party
site, no one from Debian has anything to do with this package.

You don't need to disable the repository. Use apt-mark to hold the
package until it is fixed:
 
  apt-mark hold google-chrome-stable

If you want to resume updating this package, use
  
  apt-mark unhold google-chrome-stable

Yes, Google, it is their package after all.

Sven.

Google Chrome is not available from Debian. You probably installed a
Chrome package that automatically added Google repositories so that
Chrome can be updated using apt.

There is no google-chrome-stable package in Debian. Google Chrome is
considered (at least) unfree by Debian and that's why Debian will not
distribute it. (I am not even sure whether anybody except Google is
allowed to distribute Chrome.)

You probably have a file like google-chrome.list in
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/. Edit it to your liking.

Only Google.

Use Chromium. It is packaged by Debian, almost identical to Chrome (but faster)
and above all, free software.

Chromium has not supported chromevox for some time now.  I wonder if 
it's even useable with orca turned on.
