Question

Latest ms-edge deb package (145.0.3800.58-1) replaces edge sources with google chrome ??

giraffeeggplant 30

Updated ms edge to version 145.0.3800.58-1

The repo file was updated from

# /etc/apt/sources.list.d/microsoft-edge.list
[arch=amd64] https://packages.microsoft.com/repos/edge/ stable main

to

# /etc/apt/sources.list.d/microsoft-edge.list
[arch=amd64] https://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main

This was done by

/opt/microsoft/msedge/cron/microsoft-edge

Is it possible to fix this ?

Answer 1

I would also like to request that this be fixed. I am installing Microsoft Edge via Ansible, and it is really causing problems:

Incidentally, this is not the first time I have had problems with Microsoft repositories and keys, so it would be nice if you could pay more attention to this.

I'm also surprised how the browser managed to change the contents of a file that is writable only by the root user:

❯ ls -la /etc/apt/sources.list.d/microsoft-edge.list 
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 190 Feb 19 17:28 /etc/apt/sources.list.d/microsoft-edge.list
➜ cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/microsoft-edge.list 
### THIS FILE IS AUTOMATICALLY CONFIGURED ###
# You may comment out this entry, but any other modifications may be lost.
deb [arch=amd64] https://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main

Answer 2

It seems that your Microsoft Edge installation has inadvertently changed the repository source to Google Chrome's repository. To fix this issue, you can manually edit the repository file back to the correct Microsoft Edge source. Here are the steps you can follow:

Open a terminal.
Edit the repository file using a text editor with root privileges. For example, you can use nano:
```
   sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/microsoft-edge.list
```

Replace the existing line with the correct Microsoft Edge repository:

   [arch=amd64] https://packages.microsoft.com/repos/edge/ stable main

Save the changes and exit the editor (in nano, you can do this by pressing CTRL + X, then Y, and Enter).
Update your package list:
```
   sudo apt update
```
Finally, you can reinstall or update Microsoft Edge to ensure it pulls from the correct source:
```
   sudo apt install --reinstall microsoft-edge-stable
```

After completing these steps, your system should correctly reference the Microsoft Edge repository for updates.

By the way, it look like the latest version is not on the official repository :

Hello. I came across a similar report in the Tech Community where the same issue was discussed: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/discussions/edgeinsiderdiscussions/latest-edge-dev-deb-installer-installs-google-repo/4484650

In most cases, the fix is simply removing the incorrect repository entry and restoring the proper Microsoft one. Try the following:

Open Terminal.
Remove any incorrect repository files:

sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/microsoft-edge.list
sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list

If you get a “No such file or directory” message, that’s fine, it just means the file isn’t present.

Add the official Microsoft signing key:

curl -fsSL https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /usr/share/keyrings/microsoft-edge.gpg > /dev/null

Recreate the correct Microsoft Edge repository entry:

echo "deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/microsoft-edge.gpg] https://packages.microsoft.com/repos/edge stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/microsoft-edge.list

Refresh the package index:

sudo apt update

Reinstall Edge:

sudo apt install --reinstall microsoft-edge-stable

After this, Edge should update from the official Microsoft repository instead of referencing the Google Chrome repository.

Keep in mind: this will only hold if the package itself is not automatically rewriting the repository entry during installation.

I don't need assistance to restore the correct sources, I need the devs to fix the package before the whole company opens a ticket.

Noted. Well, since this is a community space, and you’re aiming for direct engineering visibility rather than a workaround, this isn’t the escalation path.

You can report it through one of the following channels:

Submit feedback directly from Edge (Alt + Shift + I). That routes the report into Microsoft’s internal tracking system.

Open an issue here: https://github.com/MicrosoftEdge/DevTools/issues

It’s an actively monitored Edge engineering repository and can help surface product-level defects.

You can also log it here: https://github.com/microsoft/linux-package-repositories/issues

That repository tracks issues related to Microsoft’s Linux package distribution.

If this affects a company environment, the only path with guaranteed engineering follow-up is opening a formal Microsoft Support case under your organization’s support agreement.

You can find more info on this link on how to contact the MS Edge Dev team: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/devtools/contact

In your solution, you suggest deleting any incorrect repo files including /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list. If the use has/wants Google Chrome installed and this files is deleted it will be necessary to re-add Google Chrome's APT repo key after as well in addition to Microsoft Edge's, otherwise Google Chrome will no longer be updated and/or re-installable via apt.

Neglecting to mention this potential scenario in your solution is a bit of an oversight that could cause issues for some users that also have Google Chrome installed.
