The above is because google-chrome does not have it's required dependancies. That's because you seem to be running Wheezy and require backports to provide the packages.

This is where you should have continued *if* you had backports enabled *and* the apt database knew about the packages available in that repository.

Just finish (say yes) # apt-get -f install That will remove the partially installed google-chrome Then remove the package you originally installed from the /opt directory (the installer will still be sitting there) Make sure you have both backports and the google-chrome repository listed in /etc/apt/sources.list or somewhere in /etc/apt/sources.list/*.list Update the apt database # apt-get update Now install the latest google-chrome stable *and* it's dependancies:- # apt-get install google-chrome-stable (say yes) Let us know if you have any problems after that. <snipped> Kind regards -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
