but etc-update cannot handle it: 17_1_desktop_systemd-j4-20210820-143805 /var/tmp/tb # etc-update Scanning Configuration files... The following is the list of files which need updating, each configuration file is followed by a list of possible replacement files. 1) /etc/chromium/native-messaging-hosts (1) Please select a file to edit by entering the corresponding number. (don't use -3, -5, -7 or -9 if you're unsure what to do) (-1 to exit) (-3 to auto merge all files) (-5 to auto-merge AND not use 'mv -i') (-7 to discard all updates) (-9 to discard all updates AND not use 'rm -i'): -3 Replacing /etc/chromium/native-messaging-hosts with /etc/chromium/._cfg0000_native-messaging-hosts rmdir: failed to remove '/etc/chromium/native-messaging-hosts': Directory not empty Exiting: Nothing left to do; exiting. :) NOTE: 1 updates remaining 17_1_desktop_systemd-j4-20210820-143805 /var/tmp/tb # ls -l /etc/chromium/native-messaging-hosts/com.github.browserpass.native.json -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 417 Aug 22 12:57 /etc/chromium/native-messaging-hosts/com.github.browserpass.native.json 17_1_desktop_systemd-j4-20210820-143805 /var/tmp/tb # ls -l /etc/chromium/. ./ ../ ._cfg0000_native-messaging-hosts/ 17_1_desktop_systemd-j4-20210820-143805 /var/tmp/tb # ls -l /etc/chromium/._cfg0000_native-messaging-hosts lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 36 Aug 22 18:07 /etc/chromium/._cfg0000_native-messaging-hosts -> ../opt/chrome/native-messaging-hosts
chrome-remote-desktop doesn't install any files into /etc/chromium/native-messaging-hosts. that's a symlink to the dir that it actually installs into. $ qlist -v chrome-remote-desktop | grep /etc /etc/opt/chrome/native-messaging-hosts/com.google.chrome.remote_desktop.json /etc/opt/chrome/native-messaging-hosts/com.google.chrome.remote_assistance.json /etc/chromium/native-messaging-hosts -> ../opt/chrome/native-messaging-hosts looks like a shortcoming in etc-update
