Chrome is out of date in MX-23.2 Xfce [Solved]

[Mauser]

Please update Chrome. I received a message in Chrome that the current version of Chrome that I have is out of date. I have Version 122.0.6261.94 (Official Build) (64-bit). According to the MX updater there are no updates. According to Google version 124.0.6367.78 is the latest stable version for Linux. https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/

[dolphin_oracle]

We do not package chrome at all. We install from the Google repository

Perhaps the repository has had some change. Will check on my system tonight

[Eadwine Rose]

I got that update this morning. Through the updater, yep.

In the meantime I just installed the Flatpak version because I needed to pay my bills online. I usually wouldn't use Chrome but because of the blithering idiot CEO of my bank requires that I have third party cookies enabled because of their gross incompetence. I only use Chrome to go to my bank and no other sites due to security concerns.

[dolphin_oracle]

I know the feeling. I keep Chrome around for the odd site as well.

your repo definition looks correct. not sure why its not updating.

maybe

Code: Select all

sudo apt update
apt policy google-chrome

and

Code: Select all

apt install google-chrome -s

output will provide some info.

After this command I get this.

Mauser@mx:~
$ apt install google-chrome -s
NOTE: This is only a simulation!
      apt needs root privileges for real execution.
      Keep also in mind that locking is deactivated,
      so don't depend on the relevance to the real current situation!

Package google-chrome is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'google-chrome' has no installation candidate

What are your thoughts on this?

[dolphin_oracle]

I got the package name wrong.
