They should be there, not as files, but as symlinks.

What versions are those packages at, according to e.g. 'apt-cache policy
[packagename]'?
What about the libavutil55 and libavformat57 packages?
I have:
$ apt-cache policy chromium
chromium:
Installed: 53.0.2785.143-1
Candidate: 53.0.2785.143-1
Version table:
*** 53.0.2785.143-1 500
500 http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian testing/main amd64 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
53.0.2785.143-1~deb8u1 500
500 http://security.debian.org stable/updates/main amd64 Packages
53.0.2785.89-1~deb8u1 500
500 http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian stable/main amd64 Packages
$ apt-cache policy libavutil55
libavutil55:
Installed: 7:3.2-2
Candidate: 7:3.2-2
Version table:
*** 7:3.2-2 500
500 http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian testing/main amd64 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
$ apt-cache policy libavformat57
libavformat57:
Installed: 7:3.2-2
Candidate: 7:3.2-2
Version table:
*** 7:3.2-2 500
500 http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian testing/main amd64 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
and I don't have goldendict installed.
When I launch chromium from a terminal, I don't get the error you
report. (I do get a different message, but it looks like "normal"
Chromium console spam; I'm not sure I've ever had a nontrivial Chromium
session with no console messages.)
