This is to be expected, you have configured a mirror but you are using an arm64 machine, which is only served by ports.ubuntu.com.

[Julian Andres Klode (juliank)]

And sorry likewise, you also configured i386 which is only available on archive.ubuntu.com and its mirrors.

So you can either drop that, why do you want i386 on arm?

Or you need to add Architectures: i386 to the archive.ubuntu.com sources, and Architectures: arm64 to the ports.ubuntu.com ones.

[Paco SIFFOINTE (paquoh)]

Hi,first I'd like to thank you for your answer.

I was not aware of configuring a mirror. i would not even know how I did that... What I did was adding i386 on arm because I noticed wine disappearing from the software center and i've tried installing it via terminal.

Wine installation, as any other package since then, has failed and results in update commands not updating anything (repositories, packages etc.)

I am not familiar with ubuntu so I'm totally aware of messing something up, but unable to reverse it sadly.

I severely modified ubuntu with extensions and things and I'm quite happy with how the system works and looks overall now, except for the impossibility to update it.

I am also aware not reporting a bug, but m quite capable in using google and keywords, finding solutions on my own, and I did not find an actual fix

[Paco SIFFOINTE (paquoh)]

Fixed it, your indications allowed me to further. Feel free to delete the topic if that's considered a better option than keeping an off-topic help request here. Thanks again
