Same here, attempted to install Chrome stable .deb 64-bit using the save-and-open option from Firefox, going with the default of allowing Software Center to do the installation.
On a second attempt I saved the .deb in my Downloads folder and then installed it from a shell using: dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb This worked correctly. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1154561 Title: software-center crashed with /home/username/Downloads/virtualbox-4.2_4.2.8-83876~Ubuntu~quantal_amd64.deb in _run_transaction() To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/+bug/1154561/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
