I've just uploaded 1.8.8 turning the package into a dummy removing
the broken download/install functionality and the chromium integration
s.t. people will upgrade to a "fixed" version (that does not block trying
to download unavailable bits). That should be cleaner than removing it
from the archive while leaving it installed in broken state on users
systems.
