I'm not sure that this ever got to the list, so I am resending.

Dear list -
I apologize for having to revisit this, but I can't get it to work,
which I cannot understand. I followed the instructions I used
previously, and no luck.
Download from Google.
cd /home/ethan/Downloads
dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_i386.deb
works w/ errors.
I.e., Google-chrome is installed (or there would have been errors, since
-i tells dpkg to install it).
apt-get -f install
So why are you trying again to install it? I don't use apt-get, but in
aptitude you would have to say what you wanted installed. But
google-chrome is already installed.
What makes you think it isn't?
No luck. No executable found.
Mine is in /usr/bin/google-chrome - found by typing:
$ locate google-chrome | less
Created the directory /opt.
Why?

Thanks.
locate google-chrome | less --- gives no results. [except the files in
the Downloads directory].
