And the /etc/apt/google-chrome.list file contains the. The software updater now runs without error. However, the /etc/apt/ file did contain the. I examined the /etc/apt/google-chrome.list file and found the missing.

The following snippet will check if the error is indeed with the Google repository and make the change for you. To do this you have to edit the Google repository file to add after the deb at the beginning of the line. In order to fix this, you have to tell the package manager that the Google repository is 64bit-only. Since Google removed the 32bit version, Software Updater can't find that package anymore and produces an error that shows up as Failed to download repository information, Check your internet connection. On 64bit Ubuntu, Software Updater expects to see both 32bit and 64bit versions of packages in a given repository. Around the beginning of March 2016, Google dropped their 32bit builds for Chrome. When you install Google Chrome, it adds its own repository to your system so that it can be updated via Software Updater.
