Errors after installing Chrome Dev along with Stable [duplicate]

  • 772

I recently installed chrome dev version, even when I had chrome (stable) already installed.

After checking for updates with sudo apt update I get the following errors (maybe they are warnings).

enter image description here

How do I deal with them? And what is the cause.

Extra Info: I installed dev by downloading the .deb package, and the executing sudo apt install /home/abhay/Downloads/google-chrome-unstable_current_amd64.deb.

Also I can see two chrome PPAs in Software & Updates. enter image description here

Is that somehow related to this incident? Is that a problem, having two same PPAs.

ppa google-chrome

  1. Yes. It clearly says that chrome source list have been configured multiple times. Just uncheck one of them.

    Also, you could install unstable version just by:

    sudo apt install google-chrome-unstable

    This error can be removed by simply deleting the files using rm -rf /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome-unstable.list* command.

    Each time you install an app, a link is created to its repository (or PPA), which are stored here. But when you uninstall a package, it doesn't clear itself from this location. Since chrome and chrome-unstable are from similar locations, hence the error (since both are contradictory). And hence you need to remove these files for chrome-unstable from this location.

    These files are also visible in the Software & Updates, hence removing the file from here remove it from Software & Updates also.
