Chrome Updater doesn't work

Reported by denniske...@gmail.com, Sep 4 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_12_6) AppleWebKit/603.3.8 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/10.1.2 Safari/603.3.8

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Open Chrome 
2. Under Help > About in the settings it tries to fetch updates (and finds one) then the following error is displayed.

What is the expected behavior?
Chrome downloads & installs the most recent version.

What went wrong?
* The following error lines are displayed: https://t.co/oYyEv5qmxT
* Chrome does not update

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 59.0.3071.86  Channel: stable
OS Version: OS X 10.12.6
Flash Version: 

If my Chrome is up to date it doesn't display any errors which makes is hard to debug this problem. Because the first answer I get is always: Update to the latest version... which I've done a thousand times in the last two years.

I have also tried all suggestions under https://t.co/jCGUoVjoe5 several times as mentioned in these tweets https://twitter.com/wottpal/status/893053426267033602 with @googlechrome.

This looks similar to  Issue 752353  and is probably fixed in the latest stable(61.0.3163.79).  

@ denniskerzig:Could you please un-install chrome and install latest version from https://www.chromium.org/getting-involved/dev-channel and check whether issue reproduces or not.

Thanks!
I am on the latest dev-build now and can confirm (or not) if it works when the next update is pushed.

Can’t confirm the fix. Still displays the following error message after Chrome has found an update which it wants to install:

I am afraid that the system version of GoogleSoftwareUpdate (the updater) is now in broken state and since it is installed as root, the Chrome cannot change it. 

For your specific machine, the solution is to install latest updater from here: https://dl.google.com/mac/install/googlesoftwareupdate.dmg. Please try this and let us know if it fixes the problem.

In general, if newer updater gets into this state, it reports to the user how to recover, but your version is from before we added that change.

The latest version of the update does additional steps to ensure that the updater daemon is not disabled. I am marking this bug as fixed for now.
