When I try to to use sudo apt update or sudo apt-get update at the very end I get all these errors and it exits:

W stands for Warning and E for Error.

  • For Warnings like Target Packages is configured multiple times...:

    This answer by David Foerster will help to remove duplicate entries.

  • For Errors:

    1. The file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/official-package-repositories.list had useless lines which do not provide any sort of updates. Commenting out that helped.

    2. The error ....i386 was due to the addition of wrong, i.e. 32 bit architecture. Remove that using 

      sudo dpkg --remove-architecture i386

Try updating again.

  • i386 is x86 32bit architecture, armv6 & armv7 are also 32bit with armv8 being 64bit arm architecture. (armhf = arm hard float of v7 (& up) 32bit). – guiverc Oct 29 '18 at 11:37
  • @guiverc but in my opinion adding that architecture was useless. Also files armhf weren't located at that URL. – Kulfy Oct 29 '18 at 19:49
