Ubuntu 64-bit "Failed to fetch file [..] binary-i386/Packages" error while updating apt repos
I had the same issue using my own apt-mirror
server to update the git-core
package.
In my case, I resolved the issue by adding [arch=amd64]
in the original entry in the /etc/apt/sources.list
.
Example:
Original: deb http://192.168.111.222/mirror/git-core precise main
Solution: deb [arch=amd64] http://192.168.111.222/mirror/git-core precise main
The details can be found at: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MultiarchSpec#apt_sources
In your case, you need to edit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/apt-build.list
.
As suggested by the accepted answer, I had to edit the contents of:
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/apt-build.list
From:
deb file:/var/cache/apt-build/repository apt-build main
to:
deb [arch=amd64] file:/var/cache/apt-build/repository apt-build main
Note that the error came solely from apt-build.list
. No changes to /etc/apt/sources.list
were needed to fix the problem.
