Just had the same problem, there are a couple of issues (mentioned in my previous threads and other similar posts) when I 'unchecked' the Google repo and changed the LL path in the software dialogue from Trusty to Beryl.
Have a try with that (...you might need to reference previous posts to get better detail)

I'd say 32-bit OS - un-check the Goggle repo

For 64-bit... Repo not updated yet (See below)

If you are on 64bit, simply edit
Code:
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list

Change from:

Code:
deb http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main

To:

Code:
deb [arch=amd64] http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main

I see this is marked as solved, but I don't think it is. If some of the repositories listed are wrong then the list needs correcting. Just "unticking" them so they don't get checked does not seem the right solution - and how is a noob to know what to do? I use and promote Linux Lite, but problems like this when following the advice given (update after an install) will give it a bad name.

Re: Failed to Download Repository Information - Featherman - 03-03-2016

hello,
I am experiencing exactly the same issue.The system updates run fine until google chrome is installed then i get the pop ups and cannot update anywhere on the system and that includes the package manager.I have had to re-install a saved image to a pre chrome state and i dare not install chrome now...bit off putting to be honest.

Re: Failed to Download Repository Information - mandoran - 03-03-2016

I tend to agree - I have the same issue and besides not feeling completely at ease just dropping a few repositories, I am not getting any clue about which one(s) are failing.

Today an update on webupd8.org:

Re: Failed to Download Repository Information - Featherman - 03-03-2016

Thats all well and good but why would the complete package manager not update at all..?.its not just chrome which needs updating.
I tried (with chrome installed) to update everywhere on the system with no joy.A complete newbie will be mystified.
Is there a proper fix on the way from the repo maintainers.?

So what happens now.?
Are linux lite users to be left up the creek without a paddle and unable
to install the chrome browser.Surely the repo maintainers were prepared for this.?

I have tried 4-5 times today to get chrome installed and i gave up in the end.
this needs sorting asap.
