I just installed ubuntu on my laptop, everything works fine, but I'd like to use chrome instead of firefox. I downloaded the .deb file from the chrome website, and when I open it, the install buton inside the software center is inactive (I can't click it) and it's telling me dependency is not satisfiable: libcurl3
I did a search for libcurl3
in the Software Center, the three results I'm getting are already installed. Any ideas how to fix this?
I also tried installing chromium-browser, but that's not working out neither. I'm getting Package dependencies not resolved
and this details
block:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
chromium-browser: Depends: libgcc1 (>= 1:4.1.1) but 1:4.5.2-8ubuntu4 is to be installed
Depends: libxdamage1 (>= 1:1.1) but 1:1.1.3-1ubuntu1 is to be installed
Depends: zlib1g (>= 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg) but 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3ubuntu3 is to be installed
Depends: libnss3-1d (>= 3.12.3) but it is not going to be installed

Here's how to fix it.
Close Ubuntu Software Center (important if it's open!).
Run the following command in a terminal (To open a terminal, hit Alt-F2 and type in
gnome-terminal
)sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -f
Once that's done, Google Chrome should be finished installing.
As per a comment asking for more info, here's what that command does.
The
-f
switch inapt-get
auto-corrects broken dependencies. The issue you had was a broken dependencies (so Google Chrome needed a package it didn't have).
