I can't get synaptic to install chromium
It says "broken pakages", and "fix nroken packages" doesn't.
It seems that IceWeasel (31) and Firefox (34) are a bit behind
the times with HTML5, my name-same (HTML expert) suggested
chromium - but I can't can't install it from the repos.
What I would really like is 1) why are 2 packages withheld, and
2) what is broken and how to fix the breakage.

Re: chromium - broken packages
You're running Mepis 12. Which version of Chromium are you trying to install?
Have you tried the Mepis 12 testcr?

Re: chromium - broken packages
It would have helped if you had posted the entire error message instead of just "broken packages" without any additional info.
I'm able to duplicate the "broken packages" error in a live session of SimplyMepis 12 64bit.
Because of the way Warren has the repos pinned the libnss3 package in his repo has a higher priority than the libnss3 package in the Debian security repo even though the Debian package is at a higher version.
Chromium should install okay if you temporarily set "wheezy" as the preferred distro or use the apt-get/aptitude "-t wheezy" option.
Here's a simulation:
And here's the actual install:

You can change the Preferences in Synaptic easily. Remember to change them back.
