This issue typically occurs after a major Ubuntu distribution upgrade (e.g., upgrading from 22.04 to 24.04), during which the system automatically disables and comments out third-party repositories, including Google’s official update channels. Because Chrome lacks system-level root permissions to modify files under /opt/google/chrome on its own, it depends entirely on the system package manager (apt) for updates.
