Nominating for beta.  I forgot to mention that the xpi packages used for
updating are for the same build 2002-04-11-09-1.0.0(LINUX) that is installed in
step 1.

I do not understand why there is this error.  Failing to succeed affects all
chrome issues...themes, locale, etc.

Only strikes some people, glad it's hit you -- I'll be coming by for a visit :-)
