I'm unable to launch google-chrome-stable. This is the error I am getting:

[4604:4640:0929/093415.646539:FATAL:nss_util.cc(632)] NSS_VersionCheck("3.26") failed. NSS >= 3.26 is required. Please upgrade to the latest NSS, and if you still get this error, contact your distribution maintainer.
Aborted (core dumped)

People suggest if you are running an older version of ubuntu it won't work but I am on 16.04

I have been looking online and have tried all the different suggestions e.g. to perform security updates.

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
$ sudo apt-get install libnss3

However if I run $ apt-cache policy libnss3 I get the following:

libnss3:
  Installed: 2:3.21-1ubuntu4
  Candidate: 2:3.21-1ubuntu4
  Version table:
 *** 2:3.21-1ubuntu4 500
        500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

EDIT

After running sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade output related to google chrome:

  • I would suggest Google Chrome itself needs updating. How did you install it?

  • @MichaelBay I downloaded the deb package from here google.com/chrome/browser and installed using sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb

  • OK, does sudo apt update (yes, in any 16,04+ use apt instead of apt-get and full-upgrade instead of dist-upgrade) produce any error? Please try running again sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade, edit and post the full error messages, if any.

  • It shouldn't need a restart (but try it anyway).
