1) As just pointed out in a separate reply, you're using --linux- flavours wrong. Firstly, you need to quote the space separated values:
--linux-flavours "686 amd64" Secondly, if you're using version 20191219 or newer, then you need to add an architecture specifier to the latter, i.e.: --linux-flavours "686 amd64:amd64" 2) You do not need to hack things as you are to add the second architecture. All you need to do is add packages with an arch specifier to your config package lists. i.e. if you add say 'firefox:amd64' to a package list when your primary architecture is i386, then live-build will notice this and do `dpkg -- add-architecture amd64` for you. 3) I see nothing in your process that suggests a need for anything to be done after running `lb build`. I mean everything you're doing after it should be accomplishable with package lists and --linux-flavours. 4) You don't need to specify --mode debian, it's the default and is part of a hack mechanism which is to be removed in future.
