Lately, when I've used Gmail on Chrome (Version 46.0.2490.86, 64-bit) there's a yellow banner at the top that reads, "This version of Chrome is no longer supported. Please upgrade to a supported browser."

Yet my system is up-to-date; running sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade pulls no updates for Chrome.

I've read that Google stopped supporting Chrome on 32-bit Linux but my system is 64-bit so I don't expect that to be an issue.

Any thoughts on how to get a compliant version of Chrome? Or to make this message disappear?

EDIT: I'm on Ubuntu 14.04-03.

EDIT: Output from sudo apt-get update below.

One possible solution is downloading and installing latest chrome (.deb) from

After having downloading it you have to either installing it by doubleclicking the .deb file or executing

sudo dpkg -i /path/to/local/chrome.deb

Keep in mind: you are not using default canonical repositories in that case, but that wasn't mentioned as a requirements. manually installing the deb might as well add a new entry to your sources for later upgrades as other users mentioned.

Good luck ;)
