This bug is still an issue, also encountered when installing slack. I don't get an error message. I press install, the progress bar shows up very briefly and then it becomes install again

To install chrome and slack on ubuntu 16.04 until this is fixed I did

cd ~/Downloads
sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
sudo apt-get -f install
sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i slack-desktop-2.0.3-amd64.deb
