Ubuntu apt searches for i386 packages in the MongoDB repo: manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-ubuntu.txt

XMLWordPrintableJSON

      The following repository locations do not exist but they are still being searched by Ubuntu apt:

      http://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu/dists/precise/mongodb-org/3.4/
      http://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu/dists/trusty/mongodb-org/3.4/
      http://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu/dists/xenial/mongodb-org/3.4/

      This is because apt always looks for amd64 and i386 package lists by default, even when the machine is using a 64-bit kernel. Since mongodb does not support i386, please update the documentation as follows:

      Current documentation:

      echo "deb http://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu xenial/mongodb-org/3.4 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-3.4.list

      Required documentation:

      echo "deb [arch=amd64] http://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu xenial/mongodb-org/3.4 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-3.4.list

      This should be done for all three: Ubuntu 12.04, 14.04 and 16.04.
