1.The detail of this trouble is the below.

1) After I updated chromium-browser to 48.0.2564.109-0ubuntu0.12.04.1.987
   I tried to click chromium's icon in the dash but it didn't open window and it seemed like not start.
   I've tried to start on the command-line in a terminal and then I got the result following.

It includes links to several bug reports.

If you want a secure version of the Chromium browser, I suggest waiting until Ubuntu 16.04 LTS is released in April and then installing Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.

Ideally with a clean install.

After purging chromium-browser, I've tried to re-install chromium-browser.
But unfortunately the same error message was displayed after "48.0.2564.109-0ubuntu0.12.04.1.987" was downloaded.

And after this I've gotten another question for this trouble.
"Why is chromium-browser updated to 48.0.2564.109-0ubuntu0.12.04.1.987?"

The package name "48.0.2564.109-0ubuntu0.12.04.1.987" includes "12.04".
But watching the url "https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/%2Bsource/chromium-browser", it guesses that "48.0.2564.xxx" is for the later version than "precise".

I confirmed the ppa setting in /etc/apt/sourse.list. That is the below.

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/canonical-chromium-builds/stage/ubuntu precise main

It's supposed to download the one for "precise".

And At last I've resolved this trouble by the following.

1) Watching the url "https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/amd64/chromium-browser", I've found the package "chromium-browser_37.0.2062.120-0ubuntu0.12.04.2_amd64.deb" published at "2016-02-25 01:13:47 UTC" for "precise".

2) I've downloaded the 3 related packages to do like "sudo dpkg -i chromium-browser_37.0.2062.120-0ubuntu0.12.04.2_amd64.deb chromium-browser-l10n_37.0.2062.120-0ubuntu0.12.04.2_all.deb chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra_37.0.2062.120-0ubuntu0.12.04.2_amd64.deb".
