[LUG]Re: How to stop ubuntu trying to install chromium

[Tom via list <list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

(X)ubuntu runs an Software management system in the background to 
install security updates and and I got a warning message that it had 
failed to install something (due to network glitching here) and it 
listed chromium and a load of libre-office stuff. I specifically 
uninstalled the chromium snap on installation. I had to tidy things up 
and did a snap remove chromium and ran apt update; apt upgrade and it 
installed chromium again! I did a snap remove again and then looked in 
synaptic and chromium was marked installed so I uninstalled it there and 
ran an update and there's a few security updates (courtesy the new 
ubuntu pro) and some held back stuff but no chromium in sight.
One of the security updates courtesy Ubuntu Pro is ImageMagick which I 
had had installed but seems to have been partly removed!
