why the ubuntu 11.10 64bit os apt-get update to fetch 32bit source?

Asked by QingFeng

In my company just need to use 64bit os .so we don't mirror the 32bit source *.deb to our mirror server inside company. It's work good on Ubuntu 10.04 Ubuntu 10.10 and Ubuntu 11.04. But it don't work on Ubuntu 11.10 . I find that when the 64bit OS client to update source list..It's will to fetch the 32bit source ,the "i386 Packages" .so , what I need to do to fix it？

Which package? Some applications only run in 32 bit mode (which can run under x86-64/amd64 systems). Thus there are compatibility packages in the repository.

Can you provide the terminal output you are referring to?

yes. first, I have a mirrors source in my Intranet ..

the key config is :

set base_path /opt/mirror_data/ubuntu
set mirror_path $base_path/mirror
set skel_path $base_path/skel
set var_path $base_path/var
set cleanscript $var_path/clean.sh
set nthreads 20
set defaultarch amd64
set _tilde 0

so ,in my mirrors server there is no "binary-i386" dir. In my company ,we just need "binary-amd64" applications。

it's work fine on Ubuntu 10.04 Ubuntu 11.04 ,but not work fine on Ubuntu 11.10 (we are mirros serer just sync the ubuntu10.04, ubuntu11.04,and ubuntu 11.10 )

when on Ubuntu11.10

I edit the sources.list file . just use my Intranet mirrors server

when I sudo apt-get update

there will have some error like

yes , i know the error. there is no i386 Packages, but I don't need ..

the problem's key it when some shell script include the action "sudo apt-get update ",the shell script will break off.

Can you post your sources.list? Also, check int /etc/apt/ for your apt.conf and apt.conf.d configurations - it looks like you have either an incorrect architecture specification, or apt::architecture setting.

We have exactly the same problem. We want to upgrade our clients from 11.04 to 12.04 but with 12.04 apt-get tries to fetch 32bit sources from our mirror which just holds the amd64 packages. We have installed with the 64bit alternate-CD.

Bit late. This is because of multi-arch which is enabled by default so that apt will go out and try find both i386 & amd64 pkgs in the same archive list. You can change it in apt.conf however I prefer to do this in sources.list
