[Pkg-mozext-maintainers] Bug#982758: webext-browserpass: Failed to install on upgrade to bullseye

Hi all,

I'm with Daniel on this one as I cannot reproduce it either:

Preparing to unpack .../webext-browserpass_3.7.2-1+b1_amd64.deb ...
Unpacking webext-browserpass (3.7.2-1+b1) over (2.0.22-2) ...
Setting up webext-browserpass (3.7.2-1+b1) ...
Removing obsolete conffile /etc/chromium/native-messaging-hosts/com.dannyvankoote
n.browserpass.json ...

Something fishy is going on here. I'm not sure how to find out what though if I cannot reproduce it. Also I wonder if removing the package from testing is helpful or even correct in such a case. Anyway, any idea how to find out what's going on and what is different on your systems? For instance I tried on a sid system where I install the old browserpass package. Did everyone with the error see it on a dist-upgrade only? Could you test on sid?

Thanks,
Michael
