When reporting this package as outdated make sure there is indeed a new version for Linux Desktop. You can have a look at the "Stable updates" tag in Release blog for this.

You can also run this command to obtain the version string for the latest chrome version:

$ curl -sSf https://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages | \
     grep -A1 "Package: google-chrome-stable" | \
     awk '/Version/{print $2}' | \
     cut -d '-' -f1

Do not report updates for ChromeOS, Android or other platforms stable versions as updates here.

It's because of: warning: directory permissions differ on /usr/share/doc/google-chrome-stable/ filesystem: 700 package: 755 Since it's a directory, the permission can't be automatically changed by the: msg2 "Fixing permissions of documentation folder..." chmod 755 "$pkgdir"/usr/share/doc/google-chrome-$_channel/

Hi there, Looks like the following folder has wrong permissions: drwx------ 1 root root 24 Jan 29 11:35 /usr/share/doc/google-chrome-stable Anyway, thanks for the package ;)

@mgb, that's for Chrome OS: http://googlechromereleases.blogspot.com

This is true.

We're getting the checksum from you though, not from Google, and you have nothing from Google to verify the file against. If someone were to replace the file on Google's server with a malicous one (which, yes, is unlikely but not impossible. Google could be hit with a 0 day vaunerability just like anyone else) then you would update the checksum on the PKGBUILD thinking the file was legitamite. That only needs one point of entry. If Google were using PGP signautures then that would require two points of entry. The attacker would have to both replace the file AND steal Google's private key to sign the file.

@weirddan455, that's assuming, of course, that you'd be able to break into two distinct places. The only practical way to do Google is to be walking into the server room, hogging a few, and coming up with a great excuse. @ilpianista, are you using Manjaro, or did you touch the line below "Symlinking missing Udev lib..."?

/opt/google/chrome/chrome: error while loading shared libraries: libudev.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Any checksum, no matter the algorithm, won't protect you from someone malicously altering the file. Reason being is that if someone manages to replace the file you're downloading it probably wouldn't be too hard for them to simply replace the checksum as well to match the malicous file. The only thing the checksum is good for the way we use it here is to protect against accidental data corruption during the download. MD5 will work just fine for that. Hell even CRC would probably do the job. If you want real data integrety protection, we really PGP signatures. Sadly I don't think Google signs their Chrome DEBs though.
