[Bio-linux-list] FW: New contact form received

[Mahendra Modi]

Hi,

I upgraded a new installation of Bio-Linux (my desktop - a Dell ystem with
2x i7 processor) to BioLinux 8.0.8 as per instruction provided. Everything
works well. So, most probably I will upgrade my BioLinux servers as well.
However, while running 'apt-get update' I get the following errors. Can
anyone  explain what is happenning here?

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)

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones
used instead.

However, I am not sure whether this is a new phenomenon that can be linked
with BioLinux 8.0.8 or it existed earlier too.
