Ah, I see. Google compiled Chrome with a newer C++ library and broke
the dependencies for Wheezy.

I guess they waited until Wheezy was no longer supported by Debian
outside of the LTS-Project and then dropped support for it.

I am running Unstable here, so I was not aware of those changes.

Only Chromium and Firefox remain. Or time to upgrade to Jessie finally.
