warning message when following installation instructions

Open RobertBlumen opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Follow the instructions for Linux installation https://www.edgedb.com/install#linux-debianubuntults
  2. Step configures the package repo: echo deb [signed-by=/usr/local/share/keyrings/edgedb-keyring.gpg]\ https://packages.edgedb.com/apt \ $(grep "VERSION_CODENAME=" /etc/os-release | cut -d= -f2) main \ | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/edgedb.list
  3. sudo apt-get update

This command will show a non-fatal warning stating that the 'release does not support architecture i386'

The message is, as noted, non-fatal but I had to research it to find that out. This could create confusion or friction in the install or lead the user to think that it has failed.

The warning can be silenced by adding a minus arch flag to the options:

deb [signed-by=/usr/local/share/keyrings/edgedb-keyring.gpg arch-=i386 ] \ https://packages.edgedb.com/apt \ <release> main
