So I installed KDE neon and wanted to install Google Chrome and it gave me some troubles. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. On fresh install download Google Chrome from their site (.deb file) 2. Try to install with Discover - Error. Try to install with sudo dpkg -i ******.deb - error. 3. It all comes from some dependencies and not being able to find them. So what I did is to install gdebi. Run gdebi-gtk in the terminal. And then Loading the deb in the GUI. This way it shows the missing dependencies. Then clicked to install the file - Error. Had to do Refresh on Gdebi and then try again to install. It finally installed the dependencies. But couldn't install Chrome. So I had to close Gdebi, reopen it, load again the deb file and then with now satisfied dependencies it was finally able to install it. OBSERVED RESULT Explained in 3). Basically missing dependencies making it ridiculously hard to install it. EXPECTED RESULT To be able to install it from Discover without any problems! SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: 5.19.5 (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.19.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.74.0 Qt Version: 5.15.0 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Fresh install, updated everything, downloaded Chrome, tried to install, fail!
I also experience this bug on Kubuntu 20.04.1 with Plasma 5.18.5 LTS, KDE Frameworks 5.68.0, Qt 5.12.8 (all updates installed). It happens not only with Chrome, but with all other downloaded debs I have tried (Spotify, Discord, Minecraft and probably others as well). So I think the problem is related to Discover, not Chrome package. However, you could install it from the terminal - one method is to do sudo dpkg -i file.deb AND after that sudo apt install -f, another method is to use sudo apt install /path/to/file.deb.
