Synaptics Package Manager not updating Chromium Debug Symbols

Asked by Scott Stewart

I am having an issue with Chromium crashing. In Systems Reports there is the following report:
_usr_lib_chromium-browser_chromium-browser.1000.crash for which the details are the following:
The debug symbols are missing for chromium-browser.
Please install chromium-browser-dbg.

Now that seems simple enough however when attempting installation with Synaptics Package Manager I get the following warning:chromium-chromedriver-dbg:
  Depends: chromium-chromedriver (=51.0.2704.79-0ubuntu0.16.04.1.1242) but 70.0.3538.110-0ubuntu0.16.04.1 is to be installed

I have done everything I know of to update the packages yet this is the latest version shown of chromium-driver-dbg shown.

I do see that the package manager has an option to force the version however I am a real newbie at this stuff and am not confident that would work out well.

Is there another source where I should be looking for the newest version? Or, is there a better work around to compile my backtrace without this package? Keep in mind, I am a real newbie AND this is the first question I have posted.

Thanks,
Scott

For diagnostic purposes please provide the output that you receive for the following commands (to be executed in a terminal window):

uname -a
lsb_release -crid
apt-cache policy 'chromium-chromedriver*' 'chromium-browser*'

Maybe the error with the debug packages is caused by the fact that they were renamed (from -dbg to -dbgsym) and put on a separate repository server.
