I've been trying to install .deb chrome file (google-chrome-stable_current_amd.64.deb) but unable to do. I only get the message saying that "It is not installable" and "Some packages could not be installed".
logs:

Try this method worked for me
Navigate to the folder were google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb is present
Example: cd/Downloads/
Run this code sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
If you encounter any problem run sudo apt install -f
And re run the below code
sudo dpkg -i ~/Downloads/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.debBy running the above code Google-chrome will be installed.
To install the package use command like:
sudo apt install ./google-chrome-stable_current_amd.64.debThis will install also dependencies.
