[Bug 868188] Re: Software Center cannot open external .deb file goog-echrome-stable

[Mark Embling]

@Michael: no, I see a window with no buttons (or anything really), just
with the message as before. I don't have any form of Chrome installed
(beta or otherwise) - its a fresh install of 11.10 beta 2.

I'd guess the problem you are having is something different.

Title:
  Software Center cannot open external .deb file google-chrome-stable

Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Double-clicking the latest version of Google's Chrome .deb file (x64)
  results in Software Center (eventually) loading and displaying the
  following:

  Internal Error
  The file "/home/.../google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb" could not be opened.

  The expected result was that the deb file would open and the option to
  install would be shown.
