Just had the same problem, there are a couple of issues (mentioned in my previous threads and other similar posts) when I 'unchecked' the Google repo and changed the LL path in the software dialogue from Trusty to Beryl.
Have a try with that (...you might need to reference previous posts to get better detail)

I'd say 32-bit OS - un-check the Goggle repo

For 64-bit... Repo not updated yet (See below)

If you are on 64bit, simply edit
Code:
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list

Change from:
Code:
deb http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main

To:
Code:
deb [arch=amd64] http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main
That fixed the 64 bit.......Thanks Firenice03  Smile Smile Smile

Thanks. That fixed 32 bit OS.  8)
I see this is marked as solved, but I don't think it is. If some of the repositories listed are wrong then the list needs correcting. Just "unticking" them so they don't get checked does not seem the right solution - and how is a noob to know what to do? I use and promote Linux Lite, but problems like this when following the advice given (update after an install) will give it a bad name.
hello,
I am experiencing exactly the same issue.The system updates run fine until google chrome is installed then i get the pop ups and cannot update anywhere on the system and that includes the package manager.I have had to re-install a saved image to a pre chrome state and i dare not install chrome now...bit off putting to be honest.
I tend to agree - I have the same issue and besides not feeling completely at ease just dropping a few repositories, I am not getting any clue about which one(s) are failing.
Thats all well and good but why would the complete package manager not update at all..?.its not just chrome which needs updating.
I tried (with chrome installed) to update everywhere on the system with no joy.A complete newbie will be mystified.
Is there a proper fix on the way from the repo maintainers.?

So what happens now.?
Are linux lite users to be left up the creek without a paddle and unable
to install the chrome browser.Surely the repo maintainers were prepared for this.?

I have tried 4-5 times today to get chrome installed and i gave up in the end.
this needs sorting asap.
