Replying to the automated email and attaching a file doesn't work. The output is also text so why do we need a picture at all. Just copy the text from the terminal and paste as an update. So vert much easier.

As everything else looks quite normal, it seems that there is something wrong either with the google source as such, or with your access to it.

What is the output of
head /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/dl.google.com_linux_chrome_deb_dists_*

Please guide me in this issue...

It seems that instead of the repository contents, you get an error message from your proxy server.
Can you ask the person managing that proxy server for support?

ok... Thank you...i got it... our firewall and proxy servers were blocking it..

Thanks Manfred Hampl, that solved my question.

Seems to be bug #1015465

What is the output of the terminal command

sudo invoke-rc.d uml-utilities start

Maybe the following terminal commands can serve as a workaround to get your package management system back into a clean state:

sudo mv /etc/init.d/uml-utilities uml-utilities.bck
sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo mv /etc/init.d/uml-utilities.bck uml-utilities

root@abhishek-Compaq-Presario-CQ41-Notebook-PC:~# sudo invoke-rc.d uml-utilities start

mv: cannot stat ‘/etc/init.d/uml-utilities.bck’: No such file or directory
root@abhishek-Compaq-Presario-CQ41-Notebook-PC:~#

Sorry, seems that my command was not fully right, but that should be easy to undo.

What is now the output of the commands

sudo dpkg --audit
sudo updatedb
locate uml-utilities
