Sorry to reply to myself.  Hearing from no one for almost a week, I decided
to "check around" again and see if I couldn't find some way to restore
Google Chrome ...

This posting gave me the idea to "downgrade" the application:

   http://goo.gl/I5chaZ


Looking in my system's /var/cache/apt/archives', I found all recent
upgrades to google-chrome-stable.  I decided to re-install the previous
update version:

    google-chrome-stable_49.0.2623.75-1_amd64.deb

I then attempted to apply the package using this:

   # dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_49.0.2623.75-1_amd64.deb


​That produced an error message:​

​
> ​
>  Package libappindicator1 is not installed    ​
>


​Went back into 'aptitude', and installed ​'libappindicator1' and its
required dependencies.

Finally, I ran the 'dpkg' command above once again, and *BINGO* ... success!


Maybe this might help someone else ... :)

-Kenneth

Next time try "sudo gdebi google-chrome-stable_49.0.2623.75-1_amd64.deb".
It should install the packages needed if they are available.

Follow-up question:  when "installing the packages that are needed", from
where are they obtained?

>From the same directory as that containing the ".deb" file, from an
Internet archive or from my local /var/cache/apt/archives or ???

Thanks again,

Apt will check to see what the version is in its apt-sources, so that will be
an FTP mirror if you've set up apt to use them. If it already had that version
in /var/cache/apt/archives I believe it will re-use it.
