I have never touched those files. Did this work before? Yes not sure Chrome version: 68.0.3440.106 Channel: beta OS Version: Flash Version:

I notice this on my machine too. +thestig is there any way to get debian packages to share files, so that we could have a single /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome-beta.list ?

I noticed this on my machine 3. I don't know the answer. Maybe try creating 2 packages that both provide the exact same /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list file, install them both, and see what happens?

I expect providing the same file path in two different packages to fail, but there may be a slim chance that dpkg can figure it out if the file contents are the same. Probably wishful thinking on my part. A better suggestion is to use /etc/alternatives, just like we do with /usr/bin/google-chrome.

Thanks, /etc/alternatives does seem like the right choice! |
