So i ran the sudo apt-get update command as usual and I got this error, I have already tried the answers posted on this site and other an nothing works. Can anyone help me solve this? This i what the console shows.
W: 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)
E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
According to this Reddit posting it seems that even if you have an amd64 system, the APT frontends still look for i386 descriptions in the file which is fetched for that source. And since Google have dropped support for i386, they have stopped describing it. The solution is apparently restricting interpretation of the fetched file to only arch=amd64 in the sources.list file.
deb [arch=amd64] http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main
