Work around 1 :  log in as root user sudo su –

-curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | apt-key add - apt-get update

Apt-get install –y

Workaround 2:

Edit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/kubernetes.list or /etc/apt/sources.list ( depends on ubuntu version)

add 

deb http://apt.kubernetes.io/ kubernetes-xenial main   at the end of the list of repositories 
then run below commands, it works!..
apt-get update
apt-get install -y kubelet kubeadm kubectl

I had the same error and this solved it, thanks a lot @Lakshmi Narayana... but I still don't understand, why I ended up with this error in the first place?

I tried both the options but still unable to install Kubelet Kubeadm and Kubectl. It is throwing me the same error

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package kubelet
E: Unable to locate package kubeadm
E: Unable to locate package kubectl

Mine is Mac system, installed Oracle virtual box and installed Ubuntu as guest OS to configure Kubernetes cluster.

Ubuntu 16.04 - i686

Pls help..

hey @Keshava, did you add key for your repository?

Execute the following commands one by one:

1) apt-get update && apt-get install -y apt-transport-https curl

2) # curl -s https://packages.cloud.google.com/apt/doc/apt-key.gpg | apt-key add -

3) # cat <<EOF >/etc/apt/sources.list.d/kubernetes.list

deb http://apt.kubernetes.io/ kubernetes-xenial main

EOF

4) # apt-get update

Most people get this error because they miss out on adding a key for the repo.

Add key for new repository using the following command:

curl -s https://packages.cloud.google.com/apt/doc/apt-key.gpg | sudo apt-key add -

For 16.04 add a repository using the following commands and you should be good to go :)

sudo vim /etc/apt/sources.list.d/kubernetes.list
deb http://apt.kubernetes.io/ kubernetes-xenial main

It is the goolgle's direct comand in the Docker.  

1. Delete all the installed google cloud and Kubernetes components

$ sudo rm -rf /usr/share/keyrings/cloud.google.gpg

$ sudo rm -rf /usr/share/keyrings/cloud.google.gpg~ 

$ sudo rm -rf /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-cloud-sdk.list

$ sudo rm -rf /etc/apt/sources.list.d/kubernetes.list

2. change to the super user interface

$ sudo su 

3. Execute the Google command with the super user authority

# echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/cloud.google.gpg] http://packages.cloud.google.com/apt cloud-sdk main" | tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-cloud-sdk.list && curl https://packages.cloud.google.com/apt/doc/apt-key.gpg | apt-key --keyring /usr/share/keyrings/cloud.google.gpg  add - && apt-get update -y && apt-get install google-cloud-sdk -y

Reference:

google cloud sdk: https://cloud.google.com/sdk/docs/quickstart-debian-ubuntu

Docker only works on 64-bit platform so it's necessary you install Kubernetes on 64 Bits.

Mine was a 32 bit machine. Tried installing on 64 bit. Got installed without any issue. Thanks
