Dear all,

I was trying to update Ubuntu 14.04 to Biolinux 8, but I keep running
into the same problem.

Every time I run the command:

wget -qO- http://nebc.nerc.ac.uk/downloads/bl8_only/upgrade8.sh | sudo
sh 

it ends with the error message:

W: Failed to fetch
http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/dists/stable/Release  Unable to
find expected entry 'main/binary-i386/Packages' in Release file (Wrong
sources.list entry or malformed file)

Using the solution from
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bio-linux/+bug/1567873, I could get 
apt-get update to work without error messages, but when I subsequently
rerun the command:

wget -qO- http://nebc.nerc.ac.uk/downloads/bl8_only/upgrade8.sh | sudo
sh  

the error message returns is if nothing happened. 

Afterwards apt-get update wont work either anymore(same error message).

I get the feeling the upgrade8.sh script keeps replacing the files that
I need to change in order to get the thing going.

I've been running in circles all day so far. Any ideas are therefor more
than welcome.


Kind regards

Geert 


PS.(now that I am writing an email anyways) I have already a good deal
of programs on my computer that will be installed with Biolinux. Will
that cause any difficulties.
