Just came across this, when doing a `sudo aptitude update` on my
Ubuntu box here at work:
W: Failed to fetch http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/dists/stable/Release:
Unable to find expected entry 'main/binary-i386/Packages' in Release file
(Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)
Turns out, it's because Google has deprecated the 32-bit version of Chrome.
A bunch of Google search results for that error are out there, from the past
few weeks, one of which is:

Long story short, edit your sources.list file for the Google Chrome browser download,
and jam an "[arch=amd64]" in there, like so:
deb [arch=amd64] http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main
(e.g., I did this on my laptop's "/etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list" file)
Enjoy,
