Hello all, I'm new to Proxmox and tried updating my pve host and got this message. How do i resolve this? any help would be great.

All packages are up to date.
N: Skipping acquire of configured file 'pve-enterprise/binary-i386/Packages' as repository 'https://enterprise.proxmox.com/debian/pve bookworm InRelease' doesn't support architecture 'i386'
 
Update the Repository Configuration
You need to ensure that your system is configured to only use the correct architecture (amd64 if you're on a 64-bit system).

Thank you for the quick reply. I'm currently running PVE on my HPE Microserver G10v2+. It's HW is 64bit, I believe i used the 64 PVE installer. So how do I ensure my pve is configured to only use the correct architecture? I don't beleive that I installed anything 32bit. MY 2 VM's & @ LXC's are 64bit.

What does apt-config dump | grep -e Arch -e i386 -e Acquire::IndexTargets::deb::Packages output?

Seems like you have i386 defined alongside amd64. If it's required for a certain repository, please configure it just for that repository instead.
 
Most likely, it's configured somewhere in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/
EDIT: or via dpkg directly, see @fabian's answer below

Thanks for the suggestion. Nothing is there. i cat all the files. nothing in them point to any repo with i386.

Could you try the command grep -r 386 /etc/apt and post the result?
Place the result inside "Code" markup, please.
 
uiplease post the output of "dpkg --print-architecture" and "dpkg --print-foreign-architectures"
 
did you maybe run it twice? both apt and dpkg just look at /var/lib/dpkg/arch* ..

Let's check from the beginning :)

Have you used the GUI or a shell command?

If the command, what command exactly and what was the output?

Run apt-get update and post the result.

Run apt-get dist-upgrade and post the result.

While posting the commands and outputs please use the "Code" button (this: </>) from the upper menu of the composing window), not images.

Morning, I've used both the shell and the gui.

Apparently its not showing the error anymore.
