Regarding Google PPA: the PPA is included in LL installs so people don't need to manually add it if they choose to install Google from the "Install Additional Software" menu. For reasons unknown, every once in a blue moon a new install has an incorrect setting for the repos where it says "Trusty" (wrong) instead of "Stable" (correct). It's happened to me several times. If memory serves me right, you're only the second other person who's reported this problem besides myself and one other person. Made a few posts about it a year or so ago and tried figuring out w/ Jerry why it happens ... but it remains a mystery.
Anyway, when you installed the Chrome browser from deb file on Google's site, it installed Chrome and also fixed the PPA to read correctly because part of install process for it is to set-up the PPA so it can get regular updates.
Regarding the Linux Lite repos, I believe that if you change them to read "Beryl" in place of "Trusty" that may fix problem. I don't have LL 2.6 installed, but my LL 2.2 uses "Beryl" and I'd imagine 2.6 is same.
