Hereby posting my first question to this brilliant forum!
I had an old, and, due to 32-bit xubuntu system, not longer supported, installation of chrome. The remove command did not, according to output from update (see below)), take everything away, so I tried purge which didn´t change the outcome.
How can I proceed?
Spam-restriction prevented me from supplying full documentation, so I hope instead for help step-by-step [After some editing now with the intended documentation].
