here is another "I don't know how to handle error 404 when doing apt-get update and it blocks me from using apt-get, ubuntu software and synaptic".

I am running Kubuntu 16.04 on a acer laptop

So my issue is : when I do apt-get update I get those error :

E: Failed to fetch http //fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/xenial-security/main/binary-arm64/Packages  404  Not Found [IP : 2001:860:f70a:100::2 80]

E: Failed to fetch http //fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/xenial/main/binary-arm64/Packages  404  Not Found [IP : 2001:860:f70a:100::2 80]

and this is my sources.list

I really don't get why it is looking for arm64 packages... If somebody could be kind enough to explain to me what is wrong with my apt-get update it would be nice

ps i don't have anything in my sources.list.d folder and i did remove every http: on this post to be able to post the stacks with <10 reputation

Thank you by advance

  • Please tell us the output of dpkg --print-architecture and dpkg --print-foreign-architectures ([edit] your question). – Byte Commander Oct 09 '16 at 01:52

    Ok, i got it, the issue came from the foreign architecture and sudo dpkg --force-architecture --remove-architecture arm64 allows me to get rid of the issue but I consider keeping those packages for now, so this is not quite the fix I am looking for – Letsgetcoding Oct 09 '16 at 02:06
