Tell HN: Microsoft Edge self-destroys updating it in Debian based distros
The newest version of 145.0.3800.58-1 of microsoft-edge-stable changes the repo to download further updates from to https://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ At the moment this fails for me because I don't have Google's public key installed. But I doubt the URL is correct in the first place.
I guess Microsoft copies the maintainer scripts from Google's Chrome and forgot to patch the repo URL.
Yeah, I would not use any software from that supplier if my employer did not force me to... Repo and key issues like this can completely break trust in automatic updates. I’ve had similar problems before, and it’s frustrating when a browser suddenly stops updating because of a packaging mistake. Good reminder to always check repo sources on Linux.
