Thank you for the report, especially the cross-check for 64-bit. Looks very much a packaging issue. On a 64-bit Cauldron system:
 $ urpmq --requires chromium-browser-stable | grep libFLAC
 libFLAC.so.8()(64bit)

Assigning to squidf who maintains this thing.

Hi
I cannot reproduce the issue, neither on MGA8 (KDE) nor on Cauldron (XFCE)
I am using VMs for that. 

I need to keep digging into that.

Comment 3 christian barranco 2022-11-23 14:33:09 CET

Ok. I think I have understood.

libflac8 is provided by many other packages in MGA8.
It looks like, nowadays, in MGA9, only chromium needs it. 

It might be it used to be required by others and I still had it in my Cauldron VM.
I uninstalled it and, indeed, trying to install Chromium again, I faced the same issue.

If I set it as a Required package in Chromium spec, I think it should solve the issue.

That being said, knowing it might take about 2 days to build Chromium with our BS and that Chromium 108 will be out mid next week, should I fix this bug for current Chromium 107 version or should I wait for Chromium 108?

I have successfully built Chromium 108 beta for all archs and for both MGA8 and Cauldron. So, I should be able to submit this update next week, as soon as it is out (I am not travelling either :) ).

Comment 4 christian barranco 2022-11-24 13:41:38 CET

So, after some tests, the issue is libflac8 has become obsolete meanwhile, and replaced by libflac12.
The only thing needed is just to rebuild chromium in order libflac12 will be required from now on.
I am working on launching that right away.

and the issue is both for i586 and x86_64

Hi. Rebuild is done with version 1.1
I just tested, both i586 and x86_64 installation were successful.

Could someone else confirm it works again?

Comment 7 William Kenney 2022-11-25 18:17:14 CET

In VirtualBox, M9, Xfce & Plasma, 32 & 64-bit

Package(s) under test:
chromium-browser-stable

I can confirm that chromium-browser-stable now updates successfully ( Plasma x86_64 ) and installs correctly ( Xfce i586 )

Setting this bug to RESOLVED

Thanks to all
