Sorry for sending again, and for a top-post, I'm not sure that this made it to the list.

Just finish (say yes) # apt-get -f install That will remove the partially installed google-chrome Then remove the package you originally installed from the /opt directory (the installer will still be sitting there) Make sure you have both backports and the google-chrome repository listed in /etc/apt/sources.list [3] or somewhere in /etc/apt/sources.list/*.list [4] Update the apt database # apt-get update Now install the latest google-chrome stable *and* it's dependancies:- # apt-get install google-chrome-stable (say yes) Let us know if you have any problems after that. Kind regards This is what I get: root@meow:/# cat /etc/apt/sourceslist # # deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 6.0.7 _Squeeze_ - Official i386 DVD Binary-1 20130223-13:15]/ squeeze contrib main # deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 6.0.7 _Squeeze_ - Official i386 DVD Binary-1 20130223-13:15]/ squeeze contrib main deb http://mirror.cc.columbia.edu/debian/ wheezy main contrib non-free deb http://security.debianorg/ wheezy/updates main contrib non-free # squeeze-updates, previously known as 'volatile' deb http://mirror.cc.columbia.edu/debian/ wheezy-updates main contrib deb http://mirror.cc.columbia.edu/debian/ wheezy-proposed-updates main contrib non-free deb-src http://mirror.cccolumbia.edu/debian/ wheezy-updates main contrib deb http://mirror.cc.columbia.edu.debian.org/debian wheezy-backports main root@meow:/# apt-get install google-chrome-stable Reading package lists..
