Fix pop-up message after chromium is downgraded

Made the migration from Arch i686 original installation to the new archlinux32 mirror last night.
Followed the guided steps without a problem. After, the first boot, a pop-up screen on chromium browser
complained that : "Your profile cannot be used because it is a newer version of chromium...."

So, I looked for some possible fixes.
1.) Find ~/.config/chromium/Default/'Web Data'
2.) Using a root prompt: <# mv ~/.config/chromium/Default/'Web Data'  ~/.config/chromium/Default/WebDataOld>
3.) Next launch of chromium was okay.

I thought somebody might find this helpful, after the package downgrades (like chromium browser).
