However, doing a little digging here; $ aptitude why chromium i libreoffice-help-en-gb Recommends firefox-esr | epiphany-browser | konqueror | chromium | firefox Which tells us that not just *any* browser (e.g. recommends x-www-browser) will do, but has to be one of those listed. Since (it seems) none of those listed are installed on your system one (the first alphabetically maybe, IDK the criteria) gets installed. Chromium doesn't get installed here because konqueror is installed as part of a standard KDE install and I have firefox-esr installed also. Either/both of which satisfy the libreoffice-help recommends. Which all fits in with your mention of LO in a previous post. Your options are; to file a bug against libreoffice-help-en-gb asking them to change the 'recommends' or don't install recommended packages. NOTE; the latter may have negative side effects down the line - not just for LO, but for all packages. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG FAQ: https://www.dcglug.org.uk/faq/
