Google announced plans to discontinue 32-bit Google Chrome for Linux and it has. On some 64bit Ubuntu based systems (Mint/Kubuntu/Xubuntu,..), during update process you may notice the next error:
“Failed to fetch http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/dists/stable/Release Unable to find expected entry ‘main/binary-i386/Packages’ in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)” |
To fix this error you’ll need to make some changes in google-chrome.list
Open /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list file and add [arch=amd64] before “http”
deb [arch=amd64] http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main |
Do not edit or replace any other text in this file. Save the changes and refresh your package list with
sudo apt-get update |
The “failed to fetch” APT error should no longer appear
