Please look here: http://googlechromereleases.blogspot.in/2013/06/stable-channel-update_17.html

To quote: 

The Stable channel has been updated to 28.0.1500.45 for Linux.

The minimum requirements for Linux have also been updated:

Ubuntu 12.04+
Debian 7+
OpenSuSE 12.2+
Fedora Linux 17+
0

This is happen just because of dependencies,

Try fallowing command in the terminal:

sudo apt-get -f install

Your issue is due to the fact that the software repositories for 11.10 do not have those packages (gconf-service, libgconf-2-4, libx11-6 >= 2:1.4.99.1). For this reason, the software package is not installable on 11.10. Releases from 12.04 onwards should work.
