Hi Fred,

I have been able to update Chrome thru repo so far, but unable to update to latest Chrome lately.

If I use a fresh install of StretchDog or uninstall and reinstall on any StretchDog with Chrome installed already, this is what comes up when it tries to install the latest Chrome version. The same result if I tried to download Chrome and installed the .deb file.

Is this something that can be fixed in repo?

Thank you.

Perhaps dowload and install deb from stretch-backports: https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=libgbm1
If that doesn't work because of missing dependencies, then try to add stretch-backports repo to sources.list and install with apt .

Installing deb didn't work, too many missing dependencies.

Add stretch-backports repo to sources.list and install with apt - works.

Note - On some of my laptops that used Broadcom STA driver (ie. Dell D630 laptops) - it uninstall the driver due to some dependencies conflict.
A dilemma for me.

Oh well. At least, except for my Dell D630s, this Chrome update issue is resolved.
(Tested it on my Toshiba and Fujitsu laptops too - they're using Intel wifi, so are okay).

Thank you Fred.

There are a bunch of dependency conflicts on my old computer still running stretch.

It's a mostly file server computer now, so I'm just going to not update it for now.
