Confirmed for me as well on a fresh install of 11.10. A typical user will simply double click the .deb file downloaded from http://google.com/chrome and get this window (see attachment) in lieu of the usual Ubuntu Software Center screen. Problem is solved by using the `sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb && sudo apt-get -f install` trick, but I don't want to resort to that to get it working.
