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

[ruario]

Ok, I may be doing something wrong or misunderstanding something and if
so please point it out to me but this fix doesn't seem to work for me.

I enabled oneiric-proposed via "Ubuntu Software Center→Edit→Software
Sources→Updates". Then I ran Update Manager, which found found an update
to Software Center (amongst other things). I then installed all updates.
After this was finished I was still unable to install an lzma compressed
deb and I notice that the lzma package is not installed.

P.S. Surely the best way to fix this would not be to add any more
dependencies to Software Center (which bloats the system) but rather to
have Software Center use xz to read lzma compressed data if lzma is not
available. This is what other utilities like tar and dpkg do, which
explains why people could work around this issue by installing via the
command line and did not need to install lzma to get this to work with
dpkg.

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

Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in “software-center” source package in Oneiric:
  Fix Committed

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').
