That's what I at first thought, but that can't be it. The installed
versions of all that's Chrome on my system hasn't changed since support
stopped a month ago, either before or after installing Opera twice. I
had even removed the Chrome repo, too. It looks like if you already have Chrome
installed, unsupported or not, Opera doesn't overwrite those files with
up-to-date ones. It just uses what's already there. So, I still have
old, now unsupported versions of the 4 standard plugins/extensions that
come default with Chrome and, thus, Opera.
The curiosity is that last week when I first installed Opera, and
immediately updated/upgraded, it ran fine. No problems. A week later,
it wouldn't. And as far as I can determined, it hadn't been
upgraded in that week. I also checked dependencies, and Wheezy
generously met them. But something had to have changed. I just can't
find out what.
Anyway, this is all academic. I won't be using Opera on Wheezy. It's
been too much a bother. However, I wonder if other LTS distros have
had this problem?
