Attempted to install google-earth-stable 6.2.from the google earth downloads. So i have a broken package and a new download in the DL file.

Synaptic and Software Centre lockup so i cannot fix the package, un-install, re-install.

What's next?

Thank You

First thing's first. Open the terminal and enter the following command:

sudo apt-get remove google-earth-stable

Now, that takes care of uninstalling Google Earth. Next, let's add a Google Earth PPA Repository to your system:

In the terminal, copy and paste these commands:

wget -q -O - | sudo apt-key add
sudo sh -c 'echo "deb stable main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google.list'
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install google-earth-stable

Now you won't have to worry about your Google Earth getting out of date. Now that you have this repository, updates to Google earth will come alongside your other system updates.

Good luck!
