So for a while now whenever I run sudo apt-get update I have been getting some output regarding google-chrome similar to:
W: http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/dists/stable/Release.gpg: Signature by key 4CCA1EAF950CEE4AB83976DCA040830F7FAC5991 uses weak digest algorithm (SHA1)
W: http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/dists/stable/Release.gpg: Signature by key 3B068FB4789ABE4AEFA3BB491397BC53640DB551 uses weak digest algorithm (SHA1)
Which I understand means something along the lines of Google is being lazy about their package signing, and that it shouldn't impact updating, as explained here. However, just today I've started getting the following additional message when updating:
E: Failed to fetch http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages.bz2 Hash Sum mismatch
E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
I have attempted to fix the hash sum mismatch as described in the answer here, but the problem persists. So my main question is, is this an error with Google Chrome's package repository or my own computer?
Just in case it is pertinent, here is the full output from sudo apt-get update:

Also, somewhat of a side question, how do you suppress the warning messages from apt-get (if you can), and is it wise to do so?
