[Bug 868188] Re: "Internal Error ...google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb could not be opened"

[Grzegorz Śliwiński]

ruario at my Opera community (an Opera employee) has made research and he determined that at least for Opera deb file, the issue is with lzma not beeing present in default Ubuntu install.
Here's the full discussion and ruario's research's conclusion:

Title:
  "Internal Error ...google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb could not be
  opened"

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

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.

  See also bug 858246, the same error for the Opera .deb.

  For different errors when installing the Google Chrome .deb, see:
  - bug 696282 (asks for authentication, then freezes)
  - bug 869683 (Dependency is not satisfiable: libnspr4-0d (>= 4.7.3-0ubuntu1~))
  - bug 876677 (Wrong architecture 'amd64').
