I'd either use Chromium from the Debian repository, or if you 'need' the
latest Google version, I'd add the Google repository - then I'd clean up
the attempted one-package-install and install from repository.
Do you have backports enabled?
Are you running Wheezy? (if no, what release are you running?)
Ideally you'll have Wheezy and backports/Testing, or Unstable - in which
case use the Google repository.
First clean up:-
# apt-get -sf install | more
The -s will stop the actions from actually happening.
Apt 'should' offer to remove google-chrome-stable_current_i386.deb
If it does, proceed:-
# apt-get -f install
(adjust to suit your Debian release)
For Wheezy:-
Add Google Chrome repositories
# echo "# wget -q -O -
https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | apt-key add -
# or (gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv A040830F7FAC5991 && gpg
--export --armor A040830F7FAC5991 |$
# Google Chrome repo http://www.google.com/linuxrepositories/
deb http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main" >
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list
Add the key
# wget -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub |
apt-key add -
Add backports (may not be necessary):-
# echo "# backports
deb http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/debian/ wheezy-backports main
contrib non-free
# deb-src http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/debian/ wheezy-backports main
contrib non-free" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/backports.list
# apt-get update
# apt-get install google-chrome-stable
$ dpkg -l google-chrome-stable
google-chrome-stable 31.0.1650.57-1
Kind regards
