I confirm the bug. I didn't find this bug using multistrap, I rather used a custom script of my own which is attached here. It's purpose is to download a armel package and all its dependencies.
This script works when being run on a Natty amd64 and i386 host machine, while it fails on Precise amd64: W: Failed to fetch http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/natty/main/binary-i386/Packages 404 Not Found W: Failed to fetch http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/natty/universe/binary-i386/Packages 404 Not Found W: Failed to fetch http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/natty-updates/main/binary-i386/Packages 404 Not Found W: Failed to fetch http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/natty-updates/universe/binary-i386/Packages 404 Not Found W: Failed to fetch http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/natty-security/main/binary-i386/Packages 404 Not Found W: Failed to fetch http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/natty-security/universe/binary-i386/Packages 404 Not Found ** Attachment added: "Tool to recreate bug" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/multistrap/+bug/860432/+attachment/3189400/+files/apt-wrap -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/860432 Title: tried to grab repository for wrong architecture To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/860432/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
