I've been following this guide to set up my environment in order to install packages for arm64 architecture on my amd64 machine, but I haven't been able to do so.
I have added 'arm64' to my list of dpkg foreign architectures.
ubuntu:~$ dpkg --print-foreign-architectures
arm64
I have added arch-qualified my apt-source so my sources now read as follows:
deb [arch=amd64,arm64] http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial main restricted
deb [arch=amd64,arm64] http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial-updates main restricted
deb [arch=amd64,arm64] http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial universe
deb [arch=amd64,arm64] http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial-updates universe
deb [arch=amd64,arm64] http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial multiverse
deb [arch=amd64,arm64] http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial-updates multiverse
deb [arch=amd64,arm64] http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial-backports main restricted universe multiverse
deb [arch=amd64,arm64] http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-security main restricted
deb [arch=amd64,arm64] http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-security universe
deb [arch=amd64,arm64] http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-security multiverse
When I run sudo apt-get update I get the following:

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
And finally, when I try to install the libdbus-1-dev library for arm 64, apt is unable to find the package.
ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install libdbus-1-dev:arm64

E: Unable to locate package libdbus-1-dev:arm64
Unfortunately I'm fairly new to cross compiling. Any ideas on what is going wrong here?
