This turned out to be a libudev problem. It seems I had two versions installed for some reason. Removing libudev0 solved the problem. My version of chrome depended on that version, so I had to reinstall that as well.
$ dpkg --get-selections | grep -i libudev libudev0:amd64 install libudev0:i386 deinstall libudev1:amd64 install libudev1:i386 install $ apt-get remove google-chrome-beta $ apt-get remove libudev0 $ dpkg -i ./google-chrome-beta_current_amd64.deb
