#apt.conf
the quandary: How to express Intel 64 bit processor for the Architecture
and Architectures plural for the apt.conf file in Debian software speak.
doing www-network search is just as dizzy.
Architecture
Architectures
places i traveled to.
/usr/share/doc/apt/examples/configure-index.gz
A portion of the example from file string above
<!--
// #apt {
architecture “i386” ; // i386 is usually 32 bit Intel.
architecture :amd64; // Intel or amd
}
-->
the machine i am engaged with = Intel 64 bit.
Ivy Bridge i3-3110M 2.4 GHz
from z reason in berkeley. good machine.
#dpkg --print architecture
amd64
#lscpu
x86_64
In man apt.conf
In that page below the title ‘ The Apt Group ‘ in the option for
Architecture i reads the last sentence:
(“The internal default is the architecture apt was compiled for”)
#dpkg --status apt
Architecture: amd64
Conffiles
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01autoremove <space> alphanumeric string follows
/etc/cron.daily/apt <space> alphanumeric string follows
/etc/logrotate.d/apt <space> alphanumeric string follows
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
I cannot access a conffile in the above files as shown as an example shows
in the FAQ in this file string
/usr/share/doc/debian/FAQ/ch-pkg_basics.en.html
FAQ - 7.4 What is a Debian control file
any assistance ? in the if else if are written to do a conditional search
from a value of amd 64 to distinguish intel or amd.
