Comment 7 for bug 657494

I tried to install the latest 64-bit deb from Google for Chrome browser and got an error popup which I did not record (sorry) that was complaining about the package structure I think.
The package did not install correctly.

Then I tried again and got the same error logged above.

Then I tried to launch software-center with root privileges to see if there were any errors visible in the terminal.
software-center reported that it needed to repair something which I acknowledged and then Chrome was installed. (said something about dependencies).

Not sure if it is of any use but the terminal showed this for that last run with sudo privileges.
