If you install chrome by downloading the deb package from Google's site it creates /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list containing: ### THIS FILE IS AUTOMATICALLY CONFIGURED ### # You may comment out this entry, but any other modifications may be lost. deb [arch=amd64] http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main I bet 'stable' is the only release name that exists on their system, don't forget this package is also for Ubuntu and other distributions which use the Debian package format. -- Tixy
