    Hi

    Is libappindicator1 and chromium in the cache folder

    In termainal run "apt-cache search libappindictor1" without quotes and you should see it their. If it is not their you can't install it. Same with chrome.

    Try and install it manually. It's not normally a good idea but hey, it's not working.

    64bit
    http://mirror.internode.on.net/pub/k...92-3_amd64.deb

    32bit
    http://mirror.internode.on.net/pub/k....92-3_i386.deb

    Use the command 'dpkg - i packagname' to install the deb

    check your file in /etc/apt/sources.list

    if you dont have the official repositories, you just have to add this


    ## Regular repositories
    deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali main non-free contrib
    deb http://security.kali.org/kali-security kali/updates main contrib non-free
    ## Source repositories
    deb-src http://http.kali.org/kali kali main non-free contrib
    deb-src http://security.kali.org/kali-security kali/updates main contrib non-free

    then you can try this command

    apt-get clean && apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y && apt-get dist-upgrade -y

    and finally

    apt-get -f install

    i had the same problem, after that, i could install chrome without problem

    You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
    The following packages have unmet dependencies:
    libappindicator1 : Depends: libdbusmenu-glib4 (>= 0.4.2) but it is not going to be installed
    Depends: libdbusmenu-gtk4 (>= 0.4.2) but it is not going to be installed
    Depends: libindicator7 (>= 0.4.90) but it is not going to be installed
    Depends: libpango-1.0-0 (>= 1.14.0) but it is not going to be installed

    Depends: libpangoft2-1.0-0 (>= 1.14.0) but it is not going to be installed
    Recommends: indicator-application (>= 0.2.93) but it is not going to be installed
    E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

    Hi yhi,

    I was with the same problem, so then I tryed apt-get -f install, that returned the next mesage:
    "E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?"
    Then I tried apt-get update, apt-get -f install again and it worked this time.
    And finaly sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb worked.
    I hope to be useful.

    if no one has said it yet just run this command. "apt-get -f install" that will install libappindicator1 and its dependecies and then install chrome.
