Confirmed for me as well on a fresh install of 11.10. A typical user
will simply double click the .deb file downloaded from
http://google.com/chrome and get this window (see attachment) in lieu of
the usual Ubuntu Software Center screen. Problem is solved by using the
`sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb && sudo apt-get -f
install` trick, but I don't want to resort to that to get it working.

  results in Software Center (eventually) loading and displaying the
  following:
