I am on Kubuntu 24.04 and I see when I open my Chrome browser the indication that New Chrome available and Chrome is out of date I don't see chrome reported in my software updates so I run the following command: $sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get --only-upgrade install google-chrome-stable Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Reading state information... Done google-chrome-stable is already the newest version (129.0.6668.70-1). The following package was automatically installed and is no longer required: mailcap Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove it. 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. My browser was closed when I run this and when I reopened it I still see the indication on my top right part New Chrome available. When I check in the help menu the version reported is Version 129.0.6668.70 (Official Build) So what is the issue here? Is there a way to fix this? If not, how can I re-install Chrome and can I do it without losing my accounts that I log in? **UPDATE in response to the answer from user10489** There is a file named: google-chrome.list.distUpgrade and when I see the content it says: ### THIS FILE IS AUTOMATICALLY CONFIGURED ### # You may comment out this entry, but any other modifications may be lost. # deb [arch=amd64] https://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main # deactivated during upgrade in noble
