Yes, if the package is updated, the new versions recommends are evaluated. Maybe the package should simply not recommend chromium-browser. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

chromium-pepper-flash works mainly with chromium. So it's natural to recommend chromium when installing it (with default zypper settings). It's not a strict requirement and can be easily bypassed with --no-recommends. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

"mainly" is the keyword here. It also works well together with freshplayerplugin, opera, vivaldi, etc. so this recommends does not make sense. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
