Yeah, my own tests always gave me that too, so I decided not to post my results here. Apparently the only way I can *test* this and *post* my results would be if I use a .deb file that does *not* correspond to a package that is known to apt on my system. Which would mean either I'd have to find a random third-party repository that has a *small* package that I could download and install with apt-get install ./ for testing purposes, or I would have to purge my web browser, purge the Google repository from my sources.list.d, apt-get update to purge it from the cached lists, and then repeat the basic procedure of installing google-chrome-stable from scratch. I was not willing to do all of that just to prove people wrong on the Internet. I have some limits. If someone still claims that it "doesn't work", then for the love of RMS, post: * which VERSION of Debian you are using, * the EXACT command you used, and * the FULL and EXACT output of that command. One person who claimed it "didn't work" went through those steps and discovered that the wrong command had been used.
