Hi friends;
Iam new to Debian Linux. Trying to install google chrome on my PC. While trying to install i get the following message :

mdsajjad:~/Desktop# dpkg -i google-chrome-unstable_current_i386.deb

Unable to know how to upgrade from libnss3-1d to version 3.12.5

Debian "lenny" has the version you need: either:
(best) apt-get update; apt-get upgrade, which will query the repositories and update everything to the latest, or
(worse) update to lenny if you're running sid or etch or an earlier debian, or
(worst) download the sources and compile it yourself, although other packages using libnss3-1d could make that a headache.
You can check out the details - packages which depend on it, on which it depends, etc - at http://packages.debian.org/lenny/libnss3-1d

check this how-to (from the repository):
http://www.google.com/linuxrepositories/apt.html

about your libnss3-1d problem i don`t know. i have got an up-to date lenny and the same version like you http://packages.debian.org/search?ke...le&section=all
(and it ain`t available from lenny-backports)

dpkg does not resolve depends. Use the Google repo or gdebi.
