Looks like you're running Squeeze, and you need Wheezy to install the
latest version of google-chrome-stable, which is for the stable
distribution, now Wheezy.

The transition was made a couple of weeks ago.


Thanks to all for your help.

I downloaded ver 17 of Chrome, and it installed beautifully with dpkg.

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.

Well, running Squeeze, I have:

Architecture: amd64
Version: 27.0.1453.110-r202711

which probably represents the last updated version before the transition
to Wheezy for my architecture, but how you can get your hands on an
older version, as google seems to offer no repository of older versions,
I dunno. 

Then, of course, if you do find and install this older version, you'd be
running a browser that is no longer supported, which means its no longer
getting any security updates, and that is rather bad form for a PhD.

Install the dependencies manually.  You will have to start at the bottom of 
the chain.  Don't worry if you don't.  You will just get another error

Google-chrome will then install.

Dear List -

This is what I tried next

1. Open a terminal window.

2. Type in the following commands then hit Enter after each.

For 32-bit systems:

wget -c 
https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_i386.deb


dpkg -i google-chrome-*.deb

apt-get install -f


These are the errors I get on the dpkg install.

Yes, Charlie.  I agree.  I had been involved in the discussion and agree that 
that discussion matters.  And most people were saying that they found

I think it must Lisi, because someone posted about a problem with Chrome
and the discussion was taken from that to Chromium not being "nearly"
the same and then about things not working in Chromium or Chrome and so
it continued.

So I imagine it does matter.

It's good to know something works for someone, even though someone else
writes that it doesn't. Obviously not everyone can tweak software as
well as some.

It also matters that, were I having the same problem with not getting
something to work with FOSS that I could ask that person how they got
it working.

[disclaimer]
I am a Chromium user and everything works just as it should.  Did
nothing special to it.
[end disclaimer]

Not having used Chrome, can't compare the two.

Be well,
Charlie

Reposting to the list, where it ought to have gone in the first place.  Sorry, 
Ethan.

Are you changing into the directory where you have placed the .deb before 
typing the command?  Otherwise you need to give the whole path to the .deb, 
so that dpkg will know where to find the file.

Sorry if I am teaching my grandmother to suck eggs, but I am rather guessing 
in the dark here!

It isn't actually identical, and flash does not work properly on it.  At 
least, I couldn't get it to update.  Updating was meant to be automatic, but 
it didn't update far enough for all websites.  Google Chrome does update 
flash automatically, to the point of being fully usable.

You have a reason for not using the [nearly identical] "chromium" in
Debian main?

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].
