I was trying to install the Google Earth 64bit *.deb package on Linux Mint 14 and I had some dependency errors.
john@adeptus-mechanicus ~/Downloads $ sudo dpkg -i google-earth-stable_current_amd64.deb [sudo] password for john: Selecting previously unselected package google-earth-stable. (Reading database ... 282027 files and directories currently installed.)

I then used the sudo apt-get -f install command and this resolved the errors I got during the installation process for Google Earth.

After this the Google Earth application should be visible in your MATE menu under the Internet subfolder.
Thank you very much ! I installed Google Earth with your solution on Debian 7 :)
