Description of problem:
After updating osinfo-db to version osinfo-db-20180318-1.fc27.noarch Google Chrome has been logged out. Chrome version is 65.0.3325.181 (Official Build) (64-bit). Seems that some information has been erased or renamed so Chrome cannot reach it anymore.

To the best of my knowledge there is absolutely  no relationship between osinfo-db and Google Chrome.  osinfo-db is used only be virtualization mgmt tools, and is not relevant to execution of web browsers. Furthermore, the osinfo-db RPM merely contains static XML files, no functional content, so shouldn't be able to break any app.

Can you provide more info about why you think osinfo-db impacted Chrome ?  It feels like mere co-incidental timing to me.

Thank you for the reply.
I assume osinfo-db changed something in the environment because the only package that was updated after the previous usage of Google Chrome is osinfo-db. May be it was coincidential. I don't have arguments against anymore, and we just have to wait until someone else faces this problem.

If you can find any info that shows osinfo-db as a cause, then feel free to re-open.
