Looks like you have bad formats in some of the index lines in that control file.
If you need advise on what/where to edit that file(s), post back to us the output of terminal commands:

deaton25; Well,
All looks to be in order, I see no fault:
So:
Is the thing to do.We all know what http code 404 means: File does not exist in the place you are looking for it.
That's not an Ubuntu failure. You likely just caught the repository during an update.
Try it again.

Code:sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgradegood tidings

thank you!

It seems your error is from this line.
I get a 404 error from that line.Code:deb http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main
I see your getting good help.
