This also worked for me. I now have Chrome, Chromium and the Restricted extras downloaded and installed.
To be clear, I ran the script.
When told that the already installed package had been modified locally and asked what to do, I selected "install the maintainers version".
I will finish setting up Chrome and Chromium and test them and the do a machine restart and see if the fix holds.
11/11/14 5:44pm It looks to me like this is a permanent fix. I restarted the machine and was able to download and install WINE.
Then I ran the Update Tool and after it ran I was able to download and install Play On Linux.
Some GURU needs to verify that this is indeed a permanent fix.
It ain't me.

Ok, Doing the things I have done has also resulted in changes to the Boot Screen and the Shutdown screen. I would add attachments except the forum only seems to allow .pdf and .txt and my pics are .jpg so here is a link.

I actually like the boot screen change since the original was VERY hard on my poor old presbiopic eyes. Pink and Magenta and electric green on a grey background in 8 pt text? Really?? Why?? Nice clean black and white now
