Comment 0 for bug 1641971

running maniacs-setup to build a new install MAAS 2.1 server on 16.04.1 host.

During the "import point releases" phase, the i386 images seem to be rejected with the following messages appearing on console:

{"architecture": ["'i386/generic' is not a valid architecture. It should be one of: 'amd64/generic'."]}

all i386 images for 16.04 resulted in that error. I didn't bother with Trusty or Precise images at this time.

I have a feeling MAAS has dropped support for 32bit altogether so perhaps we should as well.
