[Bug 1284192] Re: pbuiler requires entry 'main/binary-i386/Packages' in Release file

[Mattia Rizzolo]

Well, this is not really a pbuilder bug, but it's caused by the fact
that ubuntu by default enables multi arch on amd64 with i386.

What you can do to workaround this is one of the following:
* put your mirror in --othermirrors, and add an '[arch=amd64]' restriction, so apt won't try to download stuff from there.
* add a G hook to remove i386 from the dpkg foreign architectures.

** Changed in: pbuilder (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid

Title:
  pbuiler requires entry 'main/binary-i386/Packages' in Release file

Status in pbuilder package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Pbuilder requires  entry 'main/binary-i386/Packages' in Release file
  although the Debian repository does not contain any i386 package and
  that I tried to indicate to only consider amd64 arch for pbuilder and
  debootstrap:

  sudo /usr/sbin/pbuilder --create  --http-proxy http://pxy.int0.aub.blabla.net:8123 --architecture amd64  --debootstrapopts  --arch=amd64

  I use pbuilder 0.208ubuntu1 on a amd64 Ubuntu Precise. None of my
  Release files contain 'main/binary-i386/Packages' .
