Are you saying you're putting 'all' in your sources.list, or other client config? I think 'all' is used in the package control file, to say this package will work on all architectures. Your repo software (reprepro) uses that to make it available to all requested architectures. Then when your (eg) amd64 machine requests a list of amd64 packages, the 'all' ones will be included in that list. So just list your machine's actual architecture, and make sure reprepro is serving the 'all' packages as well. Hopefully I've understood both your question, and how it actually works :-) Richard -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJU6+2BAAoJELSi8I/scBaNeuIH/jeqmlTLIEBKo89vwclwofwb Xr3IMIy3kGoZLmRlPIDJJsvQ9zp0QZ3cBtYDpGY178XyflCOdyTkM9Q5P40/+dKY KKMZGLb1yc1jGFIQl0eppYV5QaiAIuBqUWOBNdskFXvPMRHx5gi+8U6F2Vqr6rbm vUT9kRPh6dlo3q3t6Lw98uR4/qfwn3rMCJmrTuwrdCOBOERRWbK/rBEQBvPBrRKm 0ZckGLrPZq92oJnhYycR1GdozGes2X8tPHFj+tlzlq2DEoktFN3mfGgTmyTQ0Hzi L5ZEbME0esLMwxL2DFwXiSiMoIb3Avx5pgdY2HXHMY5XTAAhj0jhRp0AkAlkaK0= =iSRS -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
