Debian

it was installed afterwards.
but i dont remember if i had installed using dpkg -i or using apt-get install.

I just tried the following:

Code:
my-debian:/# dpkg -l | grep chrome

below are the outputs
Code:
rc  google-chrome-stable                 38.0.2125.101-1                      The web browser from Google
ii  xserver-xorg-video-openchrome        1:0.2.902+svn579-4                   X.Org X server -- VIA display driver

i tried to remove but could not:

Code:
my-debian:/# apt-get remove google-chrome-stable

I managed to get it working finally Smilie Am Happy

This document is a life saver.

Chrome Version 12 is the latest version supported on Debian Lenny.

The required deb packages are:

Code:
google-chrome-stable_12.0.742.112-r90304_amd64.deb

- if you have 64bit

or

Code:
google-chrome-stable_12.0.742.112-r90304_i386.deb

- if you have 32bit

The link given on the above page does not work so you need to google for "google-chrome-stable_12.0.742.112-r90304_i386.deb"

The package installation went very nicely without any errors or complaints:

Code:
my-debian:/home/my/Downloads# dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_12.0.742.112-r90304_i386.deb 
Selecting previously deselected package google-chrome-stable.
