I installed Google Chrome from a deb in 10.04 and it seems to work however when i click the package manager i get this error:
E: Malformed 3rd word in the Status line
E: Error occurred while processing libavahi-common-data (UsePackage2)
E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/dpkg/status
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
How do i go about uninstalling Google Chrome?

sudo apt-get --purge remove google-chrome-stable
and then reinstall.... or it should be in your package manager. look in installed programs..

Tried that command in the terminal and get this:
sudo apt-get --purge remove google-chrome-stable
Reading package lists... Error!
E: Malformed 3rd word in the Status line
E: Error occurred while processing libavahi-common-data (UsePackage2)
E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/dpkg/status
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
My software centre also says ive got 0 items installed!

hmm seems like your package list is screwed up.. do
sudo apt-get update
twice, then sudo apt-get upgrade -y
if chrome doesn't work then, try removing it again and reinstallling

Edit your status file by,
gksudo gedit /var/lib/dpkg/status
Search for libavahi-common-data. Its status line should read like this
Status: install ok installed
There is something malformed there. Correct it, save and close and try again.
