----------------------------------------------
Sorry, I missed this too. I've opened/tagged the ticket appropriately to
prevent this from slipping through.
bq. I am curious how [arch=amd64] doesn't break it for any debian distribution
and architecture, like i386. But debian package management foo is weak here.
Well, actually, i386 is the other option we publish:
https://dl.bintray.com/apache/cassandra/dists/40x/main/
If you dig into either of those or our packaging though, the architecture is
'all' so this is not an issue of packaging, but whatever is managing our Debian
repository is only publishing the package list for amd64 and i386
architectures. Anyway, we should fix this to include arm64, rather than
specifying an architecture in our docs, since while that will work, it is
horrible system hygiene.
Mick, is your foo any stronger with what is building the repo? :)

> Key: CASSANDRA-15889
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-15889
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Build
> Reporter: Matt Davis
> Priority: Normal
> Labels: ARM, debian
> Fix For: 2.2.x, 3.0.x, 3.11.x, 4.0-rc
>
>
> Following the first three steps of the [Debian install
> process|https://cassandra.apache.org/download/], after an apt-get update
> you'll see this line:
> {code:bash}
> $ sudo apt-get update
> ...
> N: Skipping acquire of configured file 'main/binary-arm64/Packages' as
> repository 'https://downloads.apache.org/cassandra/debian 311x InRelease'
> doesn't support architecture 'arm64'
> {code}
> Checking the [Debian
> repo|https://dl.bintray.com/apache/cassandra/dists/311x/main/] confirms there
> is no aarch64 variant available.
> Should you then attempt to install Cassandra:
> {code:bash}
> $ sudo apt-get install cassandra
> Reading package lists... Done
> Building dependency tree
> Reading state information... Done
> Package cassandra is not available, but is referred to by another package.
> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
> is only available from another source
> E: Package 'cassandra' has no installation candidate
> {code}
> Note that there is a workaround available: if you specify "amd64" as the arch
> for the source, it downloads and runs on Arm without issue:
> {code:bash}
> echo "deb [arch=amd64] https://downloads.apache.org/cassandra/debian 311x
> main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cassandra.sources.list
> {code}
> The Redhat RPM contains a "noarch" arch type, so it will download on any
> host. (Cassandra does not use separate binaries/releases for different
> architectures, so this seems to be the correct approach, but adding an
> aarch64 variant would also suffice.)
