Alternatively, start aptitude (just run "aptitude" with no parameters,
as root ).  You should get a text interface. At the top it will say
"#Broken: XX" and at the bottom will be a red bar saying
"Suggest 1 removal" (probably).

If you now press 'e', you'll get the interactive resolver up. It will
probably start by suggesting the removal of google-chrome. Use the ','
and '.' (hint: on some keyboards, that's '<' and '>' without the use of
shift) keys to navigate between suggestions. Hopefully, you'll find a
solution that keeps google-chrome (in addition to upgrading some
packages, probably). If you get a pop-up saying "No more solutions",
then that version of google-chrome is not installable on your system.

When you find a solution you like, press '!' to apply it and then 'g'
twice to process the installation/upgrades.

HTH.
