When I faced this issue on my system, I did an extensive search on Google. Post some good research, I figured out that google-chrome-stable is available via a 3rd party repository link.

Installation can be completed in just 3 steps as follows:

  • Add the key using;

wget -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | sudo apt-key add -

  • Set the repository:

echo 'deb [arch=amd64] http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list

  • Perform the final update & installation using the commands:

sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install google-chrome-stable

This worked for me even on v16.04 LTS, so I am hopeful that it should work for you as well.

  • Hello @AnuragSrivastava which version of Ubuntu are you using on your system, I have tried these steps on v14 and also on v16.04 LTS and after you commented, I uninstalled google-chrome and reinstalled using the same steps and it worked fine for me. See if there is any other factor blocking your installation process. Let us know if there is any. Oct 5, 2018 at 3:38
