deb http://dl.google.com/linux/deb/ stable main
Failed to fetch http://dl.google.com/linux/deb/dists/stable/Release Unable to find expected entry main/source/Sources in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)
Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
It's apparently a problem with pipelining and the google servers. See this Ubuntu bug for more information and a workaround.

Those directions no longer seem to work. http://dl.google.com/linux/ Seems to have been removed. Can anyone from Google confirm this?
As a workaround adding
Acquire::http::Pipeline-Depth "0";
to to a file in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/ fixes the problem for me.
