Hi, due to a typing error - I wanted to say 'dpkg --add-architecture i386' but wrote 'i368' - I get the following error messages when running apt-get update: <msgs> ... W: Failed to fetch http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/dists/vivid/Release Unable to find expected entry 'contrib/binary-i368/Packages' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file) W: Failed to fetch http://ftp-stud.hs-esslingen.de/debian/dists/wheezy-updates/Release Unable to find expected entry 'main/binary-i368/Packages' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file) W: Failed to fetch http://security.debian.org/dists/wheezy/updates/Release Unable to find expected entry 'main/binary-i368/Packages' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file) ... </msgs> Where is the information for these erroneous requests stored? How can I remove it? Thanks for any hint. -- K.D.J.

At least the messages shown above disappeared when I said dpkg --remove-architecture i368 apt-get update But I cannot add the correct architecture: dpkg --add-architecture i386 apt-get update dpkg --print-architecture just shows me 'amd64'. 'apt-get update' seems to have found some i386 packages but the second architecture is not printed out. -- K.D.J.

"dpkg --print-architecture" shows the default architecture for which packages are installed. Try dpkg --print-foreign-architectures That should output "i386" Matthias

At face value I'd assumed Tony was reflecting on the freedom a user has to make something work how they want. I didn't consider it as demanding, because unless he had offered to create the features or rally the developers himself or point the OP to another list, and assuming Tony wasn't overwhelmed by mutual consensus, if you want something, surely nobody owes it to anyone except themselves to write it?

I was approaching the issue more from a design perspective (I could/should have left out the '*groan* *sigh* ...' and may be it would have read better?) e.g. --print-architecture lists the current, and --print-foreign-architectures lists the extras and no doubt (on reflexion) it was a consious decision not to also have a '--print-architectures' for all of them. I guess, '--print-architecture' which lists the one which dpkg was built for has more value being a separate option so that when used in a scripting context you won't get confused just because of an 's'. Perhaps there could be an option --print-all-architectures which would save having to concatenating the output of '--print-architecture' and '--print-foreign-architectures'? Is it used/needed by the end user often enough to warrant it? e.g. is it asked of a poster to debian-user regularly enough? -- "If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing." --- Malcolm X
