    Why does this break apt? Just because, I assume (I am using Debian btw), it installs a placeholder deb-package which, while running the postinst script, installs chromium via snap commands?

      It doesn’t break apt, apt just prefers snaps now.

      This is as they designed it.

      The issue here is that people don’t like this other thing and so the distribution which has been moving towards this other thing for like a decade now I guess is the bad guy for continuing to work towards that goal.

        It doesn’t break apt, Canonical just broke their version of apt just to prefer snaps now.

        FTFY

          OK, so it’s actually apt itself that’s different on Ubuntu, not just fake/virtual/transitional deb packages in their repos.
