I'm getting update errors on and off on 4.2 because of i386 packages. Are i386 packages supposed to be showing up in /var/apt/lib/lists/ I have Debian on another disk on the same machine and nothing specifically i386 ever shows up there. On LL sometimes updates run okay and go through the i386 stuff with no effect. Other times it throws errors on the universe i386 repo. I've repaired it a couple different ways and got updates to run okay. I'm using the default mirror for the US. The system has no other PPAs installed than the LL defaults. No firmware except the standard AMD GPU package, and the RTL2800 package. There are no MII errors on the hardware either. The source list is correct as well, I think, unless AMD64 is supposed to be specified. It's not differentiated in the Debian /etc/sources list file, but I'm not sure if Ubuntu does differentiate. The LL system runs very well, but those i386 files should not be in the /lists/ files.
one way complete reload:sudo rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*sudo apt-get update
another way with fix:sudo apt-get install -f
another way just deleted all the i386 package entries in /var/lib/apt/lists/and then run updates, but they returned after reboot of a successful update.
They still return no matter how I fix the situation, which seems indicative of an installer error during the original installation which went unreported, if they're not supposed to be there. If the i386 packages are not supposed to be showing up in /lists/ I'd like to remedy that, perhaps with lock or a blacklist or adding amd64 tag to sources. I'm used to Debian so I'm a little perplexed, as I've never had to deal with this kind of error on LL. Don't bother suggesting re-install. I don't roll that way, and I have too much time in this current installation already, on a machine which would never even install the 3.x series at all. I know this can be fixed I just can't figure it out safely. It is not the UEFI build, and neither is the Debian on the other disk.
