Bug Description
Two Events to report.
1. I downloaded Google Chrome stable via Firefox 28 and had it open to the software center for installation. The dialog box came up normally and looked as if it were installing. But, after 30 seconds or so, the authorization dialog box appeared asking me to put in my password for it to proceed installation. After a minute or so after that, it stopped and failed with "Package Operation Failed".
Repeated the install by purging chrome deb. from google, and tried again downloading and trying step 1 above with same result. Same effect with chrome unstable.
2. The next step tried was just downloading it straight from Google and having it place it in the downloads folder. Opened it and of course it tried to install with the USC, with same error as number 1 above.
Attachments 1 through 6 are the chanin of events from download to attempted install via Ubuntu Software Center.
