Leap 42.1 Cannot install Google chrome stable

#1

Trying to install google-chrome-stable in yast but I get an error that “the package is broken, integrity check has failed.” Additionally:

Error: INVALID:google-chrome-stable-46.0.2490.80-1.x86_64 (Google-Chrome): Signature verification failed [4-Signatures public key is not available]
Header V4 DSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID 7fac5991: NOKEY
Header SHA1 digest: OK (5a67ad52640a98b657438af5294dd70e10bfca68)
MD5 digest: OK (876a40c7837e712711f879cf8bf3f1dc)
V4 DSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID 7fac5991: NOKEY

Google chrome is enabled in the repositories. I tried removing it and then adding it again through the terminal but it says the package is still broken when installing through zypper.

I also tried downloading the rpm directly from google but that won’t work either.

thanks for your help.

Install Chromium (?) That is in my set up the Google ‘chrome’ . Installed with pepper to enable video in news site bbc.co.uk/news. Chromium in Community repositories.

Thank you for the Chromium tip but I would like to install Google chrome as well.

Maybe Yast will not install if there is no key.

What is the message?
try:
rpm -Uvh packagename.rpm

I think you need to install lsb as well.

I installed something with the same warning.
Ignoring the warning twice, yast installed it in leap.

#6

I just ignored the Yast warning and everything installed and google chrome is working fine.

Thanks for everyone’s input. I’m new to this so I’m assuming ignoring the warning is ok but I guess we’ll see.

thanks

Be careful/cautious, do it only when you’re confident of the cleanliness of the package.

#8

to avoid key errors you need to import google’s pgp key

sudo rpm --import https://dl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub

you can verify the key is installed by executing

rpm -qi gpg-pubkey-7fac5991-*

if you have chrome’s rpm you can check it’s key by doing

rpm --checksig -v google-chrome-stable_current_x86_64.rpm

Thank you so much for the advice. I have added the key successfully.

Thanks!

I don’t know why folk like to have Chrome instead of Chromium. But of course I believe they’re perfectly free to choose whatever they like. And for the next person who gets confused I’ve written a little HowTo stemming from this thread.

And of course I had to install Chrome to write the HowTo – and I’m really liking it :slight_smile:
Sorry Firefox!
