    Please try sudo apt install /path/to/your/package.deb and add the output to your question in a code block ({} button) if it doesn't solve the problem. – dessert Sep 16 '17 at 05:24
  • thanks all, I installed Gdebi package installer, and everything runs fine after that. – Kuntal Kundu Sep 16 '17 at 19:56

    In order to avoid future problems please understand that the Ubuntu Software needs APT to run and make a list of installed and available software updates. So, before installing any new software, always fully update your system (as easy as running the Updates tool). –  Sep 17 '17 at 02:28

I installed Gdebi package installer, with the command sudo apt-get install gdebi and thene installed the google package as described here and everything runs fine after that.

Note: you have to enable the universe repository first to install gdebi as described here.

    I can only assume that you used gdebi to install a previously downloaded deb package. Perhaps you would be so kind as to add detail as explained in the guidelines so that others can benefit from your experience. – Elder Geek Sep 17 '17 at 20:43
  • After downloading Google chrome .deb file I downloaded gdebi package installer from ubuntu software store. Then installed it. After that I select chrome installer, right click on it and opened it with gdebi installer. That's all. Its very easy. Thanks. – Kuntal Kundu Sep 18 '17 at 03:06
