From https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Installing_Google_Chrome_in_Mageia :

As of Tuesday 13th June 2023, the upstream download site at Google does not seem to have the needed latest media_info/[hdlist.cz|MD5SUM|synthesis.hdlist.cz] files for the most recent release 114.0.5735.106 for 2023-06-06.
It seems that Google did not run a "genhdlist2 ." to regenerate the hdlist files needed by URPMI.

This means that you will not get the latest google-chrome-stable when you run: /bin/sudo urpmi --auto-update.

Version 114.0.5735.106 rpm can installed directly with:

/bin/sudo urpmi http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/rpm/stable/x86_64/google-chrome-stable-114.0.5735.106-1.x86_64.rpm
