I have had this issue also.
I'm usning amd64 version.
Just today I was testing the daily build and I noted that I can install from the live session but not after installing to HDD. I have a separate / and /home partitions as logicals inside an extended partition.
I tried reinstalling and unchecking the 'encrypt home directory' option and now i can install chrome, opera and other debs.
I reinstalled and checked the 'encrypt home directory' option and again i get the 'Internal error. the file ***.deb could tot be opened.
It's not so much an Ubuntu software center issue because it also happens with gdebi. I have tried 'gksu gdebi-gtk' and the issue is still the same.
It seems that the issue is quite popular and i think bug reports 858246 854164 869685 868188 are duplicated of the same.
So, short version:
It happens on amd64 and
with thome directory encrypted.
