Many tnx for your replies. Absolute newb in linux so please forgive my ignorance.

1st, going into terminal and typing in code provided, I get this:
dj  ~  /etc/apt/sources.list

bash: /etc/apt/sources.list: Permission denied
 dj  ~  126 

RE google chrome: yes, it is a 404 but how do I disable the current repo, and then reinstall it?

First, for the permission denied, you need to do this:
1. Launch Linux Lite terminal, and type
--- Code: ---cat /etc/apt/sources.list
--- End code ---
hit Enter
2. Check the output, copy and paste it in your reply.
However, I think Chrome creates a file called google-chrome.list, and it is located in /etc/apt/sources.list.d to verify whether that's the case, in a terminal run
--- Code: ---ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d
--- End code ---

To learn how to disable the repo, read here https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/installing-software/can-linux-lite-be-updated-when-using-persistent-live-usb-version/msg56529/#msg56529

Reading package lists...
E: The repository 'http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb stable Release' no longer has a Release file.

It looks like the repo changed, and it is no longer available in that location/server. If you follow the link https://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb in a web browser, you'll get a 404 error. I suggest downloading Chrome  https://www.google.com/intl/en_us/chrome/ disable the current repo, and reinstalling it, that way you'll get the correct/current repository.

@deejay...
You've gone to Software and Updates..can type from menu
And unselected the Google repo? Look in the 1st 2 or 3 tabs...
Uncheck it, save and rerun..

If not..
We'll want to look at your sources.
View the file or cat and post the out...
I'm mobile but I believe...

--- Code: ---/etc/apt/sources.list
--- End code ---

Hi firenice03

Many tnx for your reply but made no difference. Terminal confirms that it is 5.6 but the anomalies are:
The linux lite welcome splash screen still shows with the install button active. Why, as I've installed 5.6 as confirmed by the terminal?
The Brave cache listing in the lite tweaks isn't there?
This may be nothing but it's still coming up as system up to date?
And the new package update indicator is there in the taskbar but clicking the install updates is greyed out?
