Sorry for sending again, and for a top-post, I'm not sure that this made it to the list.

Don't worry about it. Easily fixed.

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.



Kind regards

This is what I get:

Hope this is readable your end - barely readable this end and the thread
is broken. Don't think I ever used a worse MUA than ATMail

It's not in squeeze-backports - it's in google. (don't know 'where' you
got that from)

You have not added the google repository to your sources.list/s

You don't have squeeze-backports enabled anyway (which is good, it'd
break your Wheezy system).

1. As root, copy and paste the following block of text into a terminal:-

echo "### THIS FILE IS AUTOMATICALLY CONFIGURED ###
# wget -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub |
apt-key add -
# Google Chrome repo http://www.google.com/linuxrepositories/
deb http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main" >
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list


That will create a file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list
containing the location of the google repositories.

2. As root, copy and paste the following code into a terminal:-
wget -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub |
apt-key add -

That will download the Google code signing key and add it to your system

3. As root, copy and paste the following code into a terminal:-
apt-get update

That will update the apt database with the list of packages available at
the repositories listed in /etc/apt/sources.list and any files called
*.list in /etc/apt/sources.list.d
Your system will then know about the google-chrome package

4. Finally, as root copy and paste the following code into a terminal:-
apt-get install google-chrome stable


Kind regards

ignore the version number when you see those sort of messages from apt-get.
e.g. any of the following will work:-
apt-get install google-chrome-stable
apt-get install google-chrome-unstable
apt-get install google-chrome-beta
