Skipping acquire of configured file 'main/binary-i386/Packages'

Support & Help Requests
1

Okay so, Google Earth doesn’t support i386 architecture, which is not a problem since I’m not using it either.

But I’m getting this,

N: Skipping acquire of configured file ‘main/binary-i386/Packages’ as repository ‘http://dl.google.com/linux/earth/deb stable InRelease’ doesn’t support architecture ‘i386’

This is how I plan to fix it,

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-earth.list

deb [arch=amd64] http://dl.google.com/linux/earth/deb stable main

Is this correct?

I don’t know what I’m doing really. Possibly I’ll either uninstall Google Earth, or I’ll just leave it as is.

Yes, it should work. It’s surprising that your google-earth.list is not already setup like this.

(BTW, on MATE, you have pluma instead of gedit.)

Since you mentioned that, I reinstalled Google Earth and the problem solved itself. but good to know that my solution could’ve worked. Thanks man :+1:
