Hello!
It isn't really an error message, it's an information message. Like it says, virtual packages like google-chrome can't be removed.
You can remove it from the desktop or launcher though, and not have to look at it.
Or just not use it.

See if this link makes any sense:

Would using --purge to remove the config files help for this?
itolf.Code:sudo apt-get --purge remove <package name>
Try
sudo apt-get remove google-chrome-stable or
sudo apt-get remove google-chrome-beta or
sudo apt-get remove google-chrome-unstable
If you use
sudo apt-get purge program-name it will get rid of config files in the system (except for those in /home which have to be removed additionally.)
You will find the Synaptic Package Manager from the software center a good tool for locating correct package names and removing/installing packages.

Dear manudo,
You could try
This will, probably, remove all the Google Chrome files and settings.Code:sudo apt-get autoremove google-chrome
Good luck!
The uninstall process of Google Chrome is also described at AskUbuntu.com, so please follow this link: http://askubuntu.com/questions/67047...-google-chrome
It pretty much says the same as I did, but now you can "hear" it form a reliable resource.
Yours faithfully,
