Installation asks me to close Google Chrome

During the installation of LibreOffice (in my case this was to update current 4.2 version), the installation asks me to close Google Chrome to proceed with the installation. I don't which files the installation tries to update, which are used by Google Chrome. But I think this is a weird behavior. I suppose, LibreOffice only may ask to close itself and not another program. Please excuse me if there is a very valid explanation/scenario for this behavior, which I did not consider.

Over the years I have seen this in many different software installations (never with LibreOffice).
A developer on IRC guessed that it might be related to the removal of the NPAPI plugin: https://skyfromme.wordpress.com/2014/09/25/killing-the-npapi-plugin/

I will close this as WONTFIX, I hope you don't mind.

That might be it! I don't mind about the "WONTFIX". If I get it correctly in future versions NPAPI will not be used anyway.
