W: Failed to fetch http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/dists/stable/Release       Unable to find expected entry 'main/binary-armhf/Packages' in Release file (Wrong     sources.list entry or malformed file)

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

I have no idea where this dl.google.com comes from since my source.list is:

deb http://ftp.bg.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.bg.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I really think that the problem you are facing is caused from some wrong entries on the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ folder. Check this folder and delete everything related with dl.google.com then retry, and everything should work properly. You probably have installed google-chrome via google's .deb package and those entries where auto-added on that folder.

NOTE : After doing that your google-chrome will recieve no updates, so for a new version you will have to purge it with dpkg and then redownload and reinstall it yourself.

Try these steps:

Go to Applications -> 'ubuntu software center'
Click on Edit -> Software Sources
Click on 'Other software' tab
Uncheck the line containing 'http://dl.google.com/linux'
Press Close
Exit 'ubuntu software center'
Retry apt-get update on command-line
