Title:
  Google Chrome Won't Install from Ubuntu Center

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

Bug description:
  The problem is that, in this version of the operating system at home
  ,installing Google Chrome was a bit 'more difficult than usual because
  of an error that I was returned from Ubuntu Software Centre during the
  installation process.

  The bug is simple but annoying: you can not install Google Chrome in
  32 or 64-bit on Ubuntu 11.10 by simply downloading the deb package
  from the official site. When you open the file with Ubuntu Software
  Centre, the error you get is the following:

      Internal Error
      "The file google-chrome-stable_current_i386.deb can not be opened."

  Fortunately the solution is very simple. Open the terminal and you
  have to move the folder containing the file. Deb that you downloaded
  Google Chrome. In my case I typed:

      sudo dpkg -i ~/username/google-chrome-stable_current_i386.deb

  Enter your password and proceed with the installation. Now Google
  Chrome will not install but the terminal will return an error. No
  fear, you have to install Chrome finally type:

      sudo apt-get install -f

  And finally you can also enjoy the Google browser on Ubuntu 11.10
