fetch helper assumes amd64 arch (cannot use with ports such as ppc64el , ARM64)

[Ryan Beisner]

Fetch helper assumes amd64 arch. Cannot use the 'source' charm config option in alternate architectures, such as with ports on ppc64el.

When it should be http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/xenial-proposed/main/binary-ppc64el

As a reference, here is an unrelated example of existing architecture detection in charm-helpers, which could be useful here.

Some additional info:

with source, it's just proposed. with openstack-origin, it's distro-proposed

http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~charm-helpers/charm-helpers/devel/view/head:/charmhelpers/fetch/__init__.py#L307

<beisner> the case i ran into was using the source: option, and the "proposed" value. but in inspecting the issue, it became clear that the same issue would affect the openstack-origin bits.
<tinwood> beisner, ahh, so it's a generic thing, rather than openstack thing.

[Alex Kavanagh (ajkavanagh)]

It's in progress. I have a fix in charm-helpers, but it needs refactoring to work with some other changes in charm-helpers that landed before I could get it in.

Also affects arm64, in a nova-compute use case:
