I have had this issue also. I'm usning amd64 version. Just today I was testing the daily build and I noted that I can install from the live session but not after installing to HDD. I have a separate / and /home partitions as logicals inside an extended partition.
I tried reinstalling and unchecking the 'encrypt home directory' option and now i can install chrome, opera and other debs. I reinstalled and checked the 'encrypt home directory' option and again i get the 'Internal error. the file ***.deb could tot be opened. It's not so much an Ubuntu software center issue because it also happens with gdebi. I have tried 'gksu gdebi-gtk' and the issue is still the same. It seems that the issue is quite popular and i think bug reports 858246 854164 869685 868188 are duplicated of the same. So, short version: It happens on amd64 and with thome directory encrypted.
