chromium already at latest revision 73 when try apt install [migrated]

im trying to upgrade chromium on debian and it tells me when i run

apt install chromium-browser

i get this error:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package chromium-browser is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'chromium-browser' has no installation candidate

and when i run

apt install chromium

it says its already at latest, version 73, and i know there's newer versions.

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
chromium is already the newest version (73.0.3683.75-1~deb9u1)

how do i proceed? im not a sysadmin, so this is new to me.

Solution 1:

From the package version (73.0.3683.75-1~deb9u1) we can see that you are still on Debian 9.

Debian 9 reached it's end of life in January 2020. While the LTS end date is June 2022, LTS means that it only receives security updates, no feature updates anymore. And the security updates are not handled by Debian, but by volunteers.

You should upgrade Debian to a newer version (the current version is 11). You will NOT get any new versions of any packages with this version of Debian.
