Ubuntu 22.04 multi architecture support for Uyuni repos (i386)
Problem description
I have several Ubuntu 22.04 machines in my environment which are reporting that there are now held / broken packages when trying to apply updates.
This is due to libc6_2.35-0ubuntu3.3_i386.deb not being available in the Uyuni repositories.
libc6_2.35-0ubuntu3.3_amd64.deb is available, but it does not satisfy the dependencies.
#dpkg --print-foreign-architectures i386
Steps to reproduce
- Attempt to apply updates using only Uyuni supplied Ubuntu 22.04 (amd64) repo's show 3 (or more) held back packages with broken dependencies due to i386 packages not being available: sudo apt list --upgradeable Listing...

I've found something of a workaround for this issue, how likely it is to create an issue in the future is another story.
I created a new channel, set the arch to AMD64, and a new repository with the correct URL:
http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/jammy-updates/main/binary-i386/
After syncing and attaching this new channel to affected systems, the package is pulled in and installed without issue.
Hey @jay2theb would you consider updating your uyuni to the latest version first?
Hi @avshiliaev,
I have since updated my uyuni instances and am currently on 2023.09 and with my "workaround" still in place, I have not encountered any issues:
