Hi,

While this doesn't appear to be a bug that causes problems of any kind, I do have a question about its cause.

The "error" listed in the Subject: line is basically what I'm seeing. The entire message is below, particularly the
'N:'at the end. Is there a repo setting I should change to prevent the request for '386' architecture? Thank you in
advancefor your assistance.

Per here:

https://www.postgresql.org/download/linux/ubuntu/

shouldn't the above be:

focal-pgdg main

I'm not sure, but it seems related to this complaint and the answer
might be to tell your sources.list that that source has only amd64:

This error is because by default the debian package manager is trying to
download details on all supported architectures, but failing to find one
for i386. You can add an architecture tag to the repository definition
in the source list file i.e. /etc/apt/sources.list or
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/postgres.list (or whatever you have called
itIf).  Try adding the arch option as


deb [ arch=amd64 ] http://.....
deb-src [arch=amd64 ] ...

This should tell apt to only look for the amd64 packages.
