It's not the clearest unless you're looking for it, but it's in the
header at the top of the output. "r" means "Remove", "c" means
"Conf-files", i.e. the packages have been (or are about to be) removed
but still have configuration left. A normally installed package would
be shown as "ii", by comparison.

I think that I've resolved the situation by -

--8<---cut here---start->8---
deb [arch=amd64] http://foo
deb-src [arch=amd64] http://foo
--8<---cut here---end--->8---

in my sources.list.

I installed all amd64 packages that were shown as being removed in
yesterdays logwatch, and then I manually removed all the i386 packages
From /var/cache/apt/archives and then rebooted.

Everything came back up successfully, and I then "sudo dpkg
--remove-architecture i386" and checked using "dpkg
--print-foreign-architectures" which showed a zero response, and I then
"dpkg --print-architecture" which showed "amd64"!

Mission accomplished!

Thanks
Sharon.

Do you still have any i386 packages installed? I think running

  dpkg -l "*:i386"

should list them (I don't use multiarch myself, but it works for the
native architecture and "*:all").

I can confirm on my multiarch system that the command you suggest will 
do what you intend.

Trying to remove "architecture i386"

2015-11-30 Thread Sharon Kimble 
I am running a "amd64" version of jessie and in an effort to get
'crossover_14.1.11-1.deb' installed, which is 32-bit. To do this I issued the
command -

╭
│sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
╰

and then -

╭
│dpkg --print-foreign-architectures
╰

then I did a 'apt-get update' and tried to install crossover again. I've
now given up trying to instal it and wish to move back to just being a
64-bit machine using amd64 packages only. I've therefore done -

╭
│sudo dpkg --remove-architecture i386
╰

which failed saying -

--8<---cut here---start->8---
dpkg: error: cannot remove architecture 'i386' currently in use by the database
--8<---cut here---end--->8---

How then can I remove 'i386' please, or should I just cut my losses and 
reinstall?

Thanks
Sharon
