I've been trying to install .deb chrome file (google-chrome-stable_current_amd.64.deb) but unable to do. I only get the message saying that "It is not installable" and "Some packages could not be installed".

logs:

sudo apt install ./google-chrome-stable_current_amd.64.deb

Unsupported file ./google-chrome-stable_current_amd.64.deb given on commandline

Note, selecting 'google-chrome-stable:amd64' instead of './google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb'
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming.

To install the package use command like:

sudo apt install ./google-chrome-stable_current_amd.64.deb

This will install also dependencies.

Try this method worked for me

Navigate to the folder were google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb is present

Example: cd/Downloads/

Run this code sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb

If you encounter any problem run sudo apt install -f

And re run the below code

sudo dpkg -i ~/Downloads/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb

By running the above code Google-chrome will be installed.
