MineMeld install on 16.04 fails with i386 architecture support

[JimSilha]

Ubuntu server LTS 16.04 running on VMWare Workstation Pro 15

After running the repository command:

sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://minemeld-updates.panw.io/ubuntu xenial-minemeld main"

When I run the update:

sudo apt update

I get the following and am unable to proceed as everything after this will fail as well.

*****@ubuntu:/etc/apt$ sudo apt update

N: Skipping acquire of configured file 'main/binary-i386/Packages' as repository 'http://minemeld-updates.panw.io/ubuntu xenial-minemeld InRelease' doesn't support architecture 'i386'

Any ideas on how to get past this?

Did you managed to get this resolved?

I was able to fix this error message (Skipping acquire of configured file 'main/binary-i386/Packages' as repository 'http://minemeld-updates.panw.io/ubuntu xenial-minemeld InRelease' doesn't support architecture 'i386') by removing multi-arch support in my instance:

sudo dpkg --remove-architecture i386
