In reply to wunderbard. @Fahnair, Thanks for sharing! Adding [arch=amd64] to the google.list file is a great solution for ensuring that your system only looks for the correct architecture packages. Glad you got it sorted out!

My system was complaining about no i386 package for chrome despite my primary being amd64. I had to add [arch=amd64] to the google.list file to read:

deb [arch=amd64] http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main

Chrome is a data harvesting program masquerading as a web browser. If you want Google to know your every step on the 'Net, install and use Chrome.

That’s not a PPA. That’s a (debian) repository. PPA is the term Launchpad uses for the repositories it publishes, and it means Personal Package Archive. Google’s repository is official, not personal.
