It occurs to me (DUH!) that the act that I am not running the latest version of Ubuntu. That latest that crouton supported was ... I think ... Trusty. I'm thinking that this is likely the root of the issue.

It occurs to me (DUH!) that I am not running the latest version of Ubuntu. The latest that crouton supported was ... I think ... Trusty. I'm thinking that this is perhaps the root of the issue?

Thanks, lemonslice! Excellent suggestion. Just digging into the nuts and bolts of Linux so that escaped me. Looks like I have three dependency issues:

Thanks, lemonslice! Excellent suggestion. Just digging into the nuts and bolts of Linux so that escaped me. Looks like I have three dependency issues:

google-chrome-stable depends on libfontconfig1 (>= 2.9.0); however:
Version of libfontconfig1 on system is 2.8.0-3ubuntu9.2.
google-chrome-stable depends on libstdc++6 (>= 4.8.0); however:
Version of libstdc++6 on system is 4.6.3-1ubuntu5.
google-chrome-stable depends on lsb-base (>= 4.1); however:
Version of lsb-base on system is 4.0-0ubuntu20.3.

I ran sudo apt-get upgrade on all of those, but it didn't result in anything.

I am assuming that I need to somehow force an upgrade of those three files but have no idea how (or if that's even the right course).

FWIW, apt-get check returns this:
