@richtr and @chitoku-k I ran into the same dpkg error and can confirm that your fix works great. Thanks SO MUCH for posting this! I had been relying on Travis's dated version of Chrome plus the latest version of chromedriver and was running into incompatibility issues every few months. Seems like using apt with this fix gets my Chrome and chromedriver versions synced up and on an evergreen path now. Thanks again!

@richtr I appreciate your suggestions that pointed out how to fix that issue. Your fix successfully revived this config and I ascertained that the dpkg is the root cause that prevented from this script working. And also thanks @dougjohnston for another successful reporting as well. The fix and the sample for TweetDeck has also been updated!

I've created the repository and integrate Travis CI build service for these gist snippets.

Please feel free to use and refer :).
