It sounds like a dependency is not installed. I would do the following.

  1. Go to the terminal

  2. Type

    sudo dpkg -i /path/to/deb/file

    example for me it was:

    sudo dpkg -i /Downloads/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb

  3. Then type

    sudo apt-get install -f

    sudo apt-get install -f will install any dependencies needed.

This is what I had to do to install Chrome on Ubuntu Gnome 17.04. I hope this helps.

  • The OP already tried sudo apt-get install -f, and it didn't work.

  • @MarkLines, Thanks for your efforts. I didn't clear my question back then. I tried to follow your instructions but the problem still remained. According to your instructions, I modified my question. Then I got solution from yamboy1 and my problem is solved as well. Thanks again.

I answered this same question about steam here. Heres a modified version for Google Chrome

The first step to fixing this is to enable support for 32 bit binaries. You can do this by running

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 && sudo apt update Now try installing Google Chrome again.

If this still doesn't work, try installing the packages manually.

  1. Open up https://packages.ubuntu.com/ in your web browser.
  2. Scroll down to the Search package directories area.
  3. Select your version of Ubuntu from the Distribution drop down (In this case it's yakkety).
  4. Type in the package name and click search (In this case it's libgcc1)
  5. Click on the Exact Hit (In this case it's Package libgcc1)
  6. Select i386 in the table at the bottom
  7. Select one of the links on the page. It's probably a good idea to select the one for your country but it doesn't matter.
  8. Open up a terminal and navigate to the directory that you downloaded the package to.
  9. Run sudo dpkg -i file.deb, where file.deb is the file that you just downloaded. Once this is done, try to install Chrome again.

If it gives you the depends on error for a different package, just follow steps 1-9 for that package and try to install Chrome again. You may have to do this multiple times.

  • Thanks @yamboy1. Finally I have installed chrome. But some doubts left in mind, I downloaded 64 bit binary of google chrome and my OS is 64bit as well. Why do I need to enable 32 bit binary?

  • Do you see all of the :i386 on the ends of some of the packages. This means that it is a 32 bit package
