This happened because debian maintainers pushed a new build into stable to patch CVE-2024-12053.

Temporary workaround is to add the following to /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb https://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm-proposed-updates main

Followed by running sudo apt update, before trying to sudo apt install chromium.
source: #1089182 - chromium: Cannot install on bookworm, missing abi1-19 - Debian Bug report logs
