When I try to update:

sudo apt-get update
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)
E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead. Also every time that I get new updates from Software & Updates it fails. How can I work to fix this issue?

And I'm not sure how to fix it using this solution.

  • Chrome will no longer support 32bit system. The solution in the mentioned link is to force chrome to just look for 64bit version in the repository. – Mostafa Ahangarha Mar 16 '16 at 10:58

Open the terminal CTRL + ALT + T and use this code:

sudo sed -i -e 's/deb http/deb [arch=amd64] http/' "/etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list"

Google has dropped support for 32-bit system. Your problem is about that. You can use that code for fix this error.

But please search your problem first, if it doesn't exist, you can open a new question.

  • Thanks, the sudo apt-get update problem was solved, but I still have problem with Software & Updates program that is giving fails the updates! – naman Mar 16 '16 at 11:12
  • you can search these fails on Google or here. Also, if you're still getting same error (google chrome error), you should use my answer again. –  Mar 16 '16 at 17:31
