You didn't need to uninstall your 64-bit version of Chrome. Instead you could have copied and pasted the two lines associated with the 64-bit Chrome fix, and your updates would have continued.
To get back to a world with Amazon working in a browser, reinstall Chrome via Lite Software. If you run into the same problem with updates not running afterwards, then copy and paste those two lines.
This is not a Linux Lite issue. It's a Google issue that is affecting Debian/Ubuntu based Linux distributions. And it's been going on for a week.
I guess I misunderstood. I c/p'ed both of those lines of code then uninstalled Chrome. I'll either reinstall Chrome or see what the the code below does. Thanks.

Code:# sources.list setting for google-chrome updates.
REPOCONFIG="deb [arch=amd64] http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main"
REPOCONFIGREGEX="deb (\[arch=[^]]*\bamd64\b[^]]*\][[:space:]]*)?https?://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main"
If I c/p that code, will it reinstall Chrome or do I need to install Chrome THEN run that code? Or reinstall Chrome and disregard that code?

When I try to install Chrome via Lite Software, I get this error: "Error Unable to locate package google-chrome-stable". I can run updates just fine. What am I missing?

Hi,
It maybe just a sequence thing, or maybe Lite Software now needs an update because of Google fix Jerry noted.??
Try this:
Open a terminal, and run the initial commands again:
Code:
sudo sed -i -e 's/deb http/deb [arch=amd64] http/' "/etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list"
sudo sed -i -e 's/deb http/deb [arch=amd64] http/' "/opt/google/chrome/cron/google-chrome"Then do:
Code:
sudo apt-get updateDo you see any errors..??, If YES, post here, otherwise: Menu > Favourites > Install Updates
Do you see any errors..??, If YES, post here, otherwise: Menu > System > Lite Software
Then try to install Chrome again, does it now install.??
Re: Fix for Google Chrome on Linux Lite - Monkeyman - 03-09-2016
Still won't install although: Menu>System>Lite Software shows it installed. Menu>Internet doesn't show it.
EDIT: I get the same error message when I try to uninstall Chrome and it continues to show that it's installed.

Hi,
open a terminal and type:
Code:
google-chrome-stableDoes it start.?
Re: Fix for Google Chrome on Linux Lite - Monkeyman - 03-09-2016
Nope. I get "command not found".
Re: Fix for Google Chrome on Linux Lite - Wirezfree - 03-09-2016
O.K,
So Lite Software thinks it's installed, but it seems it's not.
I think it needs a comment from somebody in the know...
Out of interest, How does it show in Synaptic, search for: google-chrome-stable
Re: Fix for Google Chrome on Linux Lite - torreydale - 03-09-2016
At this point, it may behoove you to just install Chrome via their website. Download and run the 64-bit *.deb file. I think it can be found here: https://www.google.com/chrome/browser/desktop/index.html#
Re: Fix for Google Chrome on Linux Lite - Monkeyman - 03-09-2016
Synaptic shows Chromium but not Chrome.
I work nights so I'm off to bed. Thanks for your help. Maybe someone else will check in.
