Title:
Internal error installing a .deb is not verbose enough
Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
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.
