Ubuntu 16.4, running 'sudo apt-get update' this line shows up last
N: Skipping acquire of configured file 'main/binary-i386/Packages' as repository 'http://dl.google.com/linux/earth/deb stable InRelease' doesn't support architecture 'i386'
Is there a way to fix this?
There was an older version of Google Earth on this PC, when it was being used as 32bit. Switched over to 64bit and Google Earth runs well, but noticed this error (if it really is an error) doing updates.

That's just a warning message you can disregard. This said, if you WANT to fix the issue...
Go into your
/etc/apt/sources.list.d
folder. Rungrep -r 'dl.google.com'
and it will show you which file(s) contain that string.Edit each of those files (with
sudo
before your chosen text editor on the command line) and where you seedeb
at the beginning of the lines replace that withdeb [arch=amd64]
so that your strings look like:Then run
sudo apt-get update
again. It should then cease with the warnings.You will also need to edit
/etc/cron.daily/google-earth-pro
and edit the lineREPOCONFIG="deb [arch=amd64] http://dl.google.com/linux/earth/deb stable main"
otherwise it won't work and will overwrite things. (Thanks to heynnema for that info.)
