Re: google-chrome-stable - no longer functional

Sorry to reply to myself.  Hearing from no one for almost a week, I decided to "check around" again and see if I couldn't find some way to restore Google Chrome ...

This posting gave me the idea to "downgrade" the application:

   http://goo.gl/I5chaZ

Looking in my system's /var/cache/apt/archives', I found all recent upgrades to google-chrome-stable.  I decided to re-install the previous update version:

    google-chrome-stable_49.0.2623.75-1_amd64.deb

I then attempted to apply the package using this:

   # dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_49.0.2623.75-1_amd64.deb

​That produced an error message:​

​

​

 Package libappindicator1 is not installed    ​   

​Went back into 'aptitude', and installed ​'libappindicator1' and its required dependencies.

Finally, I ran the 'dpkg' command above once again, and BINGO ... success!

Maybe this might help someone else ... :)
