Try again after uninstalling package chromium-common 98.0.4758.80-1~deb11u1.

Obviously, removing the conflicting package avoids the conflict, but that doesn't solve the undeclared package conflict! :P

I believe there's currently still other problems with the unified builds (which you're downloading from OBS) - #247 hasn't been fixed, version 95 is quite outdated by now, and it seems like a few other issues have been discovered. The current workaround is to use the unportable branch. Eloston provided his own builds at https://github.com/Eloston/ungoogled-chromium-binaries/releases, but they also haven't been updated in a while. You can dig through other issues' comments to find if anyone's built the latest version, or build it yourself. Alternatively you can use the snap/flatpak/appimage packages.

Thanks for that. Will upgrade to 98 unportable from 95 (on Debian SID) and report back here if anything goes wrong.

I got:

$/chromium
Illegal instruction

EDIT: I did some research and according to a comment on Linux Mint forums the latest versions of Chromium require sse3. I've got sse2 (and ssse3 whatever that means).
