Good day, when I'm trying to install Google Chrome on Ubuntu, it throw a dpkg-deb: error saying it cannot unpack the .deb file.
I'm following this guideline (without installing OpenJDK): https://tecadmin.net/setup-selenium-chromedriver-on-ubuntu/ And I managed to make it 2/3 days ago, but since that time, I guess a new version of chrome has been added, and once I reproduce installation on a new instance, I have the following error (that did not happen yesterday):
ubuntu@ip-172-31-5-107:~$ sudo apt -y install google-chrome-stable

Here is my Ubuntu release info:

Distributor ID: Ubuntu

Release: 22.04
Codename: jammy
I tried to download DEB file and upload on the server througout SFTP to unpack it from the computer, I tried to dowload it with wget and unpack it, but nothing to do, the issue is still happenning: I cannot unpack this chrome DEB file.
I tried to run many commands offered by peoples who experienced this issue across forums: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1011008/dpkg-error-cannot-copy-extracted-data-for-unexpected-end-of-file-or-stream https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2433266
I tried touching to the dpkg config and even reseting the whole ubuntu softwares & dependencies thanks to the guideline below: https://linuxhint.com/fix-broken-ubuntu-without-reinstalling/
But still no changes and I cannot install or run Google Chrome.
My goal is to install Google Chrome and its drivers, so I guess if I can run google-chrome --version and see it is installed, I should be able to continue (as the first server I've set up).
Thank you in advance for your time & help!
