Chromium works again :)

I've been using Konqueror as my main browser for many years, with Firefox as a regular backup for things it just does better (such as eBay), however I've also found that Chromium is also better for some other things (such as YouTube).

However, some fairly recent (April / May 2017) update in Debian 7 "Wheezy" has broken Chromium so that it always shows "Aw, snap!" no matter what you ask for (any web page, the Chromium settings screen, the help page recommended by the Snap message, just anything). It's not an update to Chromium (version 37.0.3062.120-1 works fine before you update Debian in general, and the same version of Chromium is broken afterwards. I haven't yet been able to pin down which specific package it is that breaks the browser.

I'd read that upgrading to Jessie fixes things, and sure enough, upgrading to Devuan Jessie fixes things too :)
