I have asked a question related to this problem before here How to fix Update error: Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file?. But I was told to ask a new question after it was established that my sources.list doesn't have any errors.

The problem started after I installed google chrome on my system. Now every time I do an update I get errors. Here is an output of errors I get after doing an update - 

Err http://downloads-distro.mongodb.org dist Release.gpg

Will reinstalling google chrome solve this problem? I am completely lost now. Please help!

Ok I may have an answer for you why this is happening but a solution is not withing my reach.

Look at this.

Missing Partner Repo In.archive.ubuntu.com

Similarly

http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/dists/stable/

is also not reachable

Also

http://downloads-distro.mongodb.org/repo/ubuntu-upstart/dists/dist/

was not reachable when you posted the question. But if you do a sudo apt-get update you should not get an error for

http://downloads-distro.mongodb.org/repo/ubuntu-upstart/dists/dist/

This is available now.

So I recommend you to wait for some time till the issues with the Backend Are fixed. There is nothnig wrong with your system. Just the backend repos are broken at the moment.
