ubuntu 13.10 (64-bit)
I downloaded chrome for linux "google-chrome-stable_current_amd64" from chrome's website and used terminal commands but installation fails and gives error.
Software center "chromium" webbrowser also gives an error. See the attachment and kindly help me solve the issue.

Which terminal command did you use to install?

In the meantime you could give this a try
sudo dpkg --configure -a
Might be enough to fix this.

Typing this command did nothing.

Did the command return to a blank line or were there errors?

Again, which terminal command did you use for the installation?
