Hi Ben, and thank you for your bug report. Are you still experiencing
this issue with recent versions of Software Center? I cannot reproduce
it myself, as the Google Chrome deb installs without issue on my machine
now, Ubuntu 12.04 and Software Center 5.2.3.
Please let us know.
And thanks for the analysis, mpt!!

Title:
Internal error installing a .deb is not verbose enough
Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Downloaded a .deb file from www.google.com/chrome. Double clicked it,
and Software Centre opened. An error appears which says "Internal
Error. The file "/path/to/chrome.deb" could not be opened."
The message is not verbose and doesn't explain what can be done to fix
it.
When installing the file using dpkg, a more verbose message about
dependencies appears:
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of google-chrome-stable:
google-chrome-stable depends on libxss1; however:
Package libxss1 is not installed.
google-chrome-stable depends on libcurl3; however:
Package libcurl3 is not installed.
dpkg: error processing google-chrome-stable (--install):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Installing these dependencies allows the package to install.
