To fix this, you need to update your APT source. This command does that automagically for you:

sudo sed -i -e 's/deb http/deb [arch=amd64] http/' "/etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list"

Note that if you are using a 32-bit Linux, you will no longer receive Chrome security updates and should switch to a different browser (maybe Chromium).
