Public bug reported: (ubuntu-bug wouldn't let me report bugs against apt, go figure.)
I run my own apt repo for a third-party app, and I have to include a dummy i386 package to avoid an error from apt-get. Along comes Chrome's decision to desupport i386, and suddenly this problem matters to a lot of people, who are all seeing apt-get update fail with: W: Failed to fetch http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/dists/stable/Release Unable to find expected entry 'main/binary-i386/Packages' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file) E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead. While it would be easy for Google to include a dummy i386 package in their repo, it would be even better if apt-get didn't barf like this on pure 64 bit repos. ** Affects: apt (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1554223 Title: apt-get update fails with "Unable to find expected entry 'main/binary-i386/Packages' in Release file" on pure x86_64 repos To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/1554223/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
