Inability to download Ubuntu friendly software
whenever I download a software or application, like Google Chrome for instance, immediately after the installation completes my Ubuntu software center tells me that the 'packages were damaged' and then proceeds to remove whatever I just downloaded. No matter how many times I'm herded into clicking 'repair' the application I downloaded is never able to be installed

I suspect you installed the wrong version of google-
I think you should have installed the 64-bit version instead of the 32-bit version....
I suggest following this procedure:
Run these commands in a Terminal:
LANG=C;sudo apt-get -f install
Do NOT abort, but press Y and enter to accept to uninstall google-
Then continue with these commands:
wget -q -O - https:/
sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install google-
