Thread: i386 support dropped?
I can't find an announcement related to this but it looks like i386 support has been dropped from the Ubuntu 20.04 and Debian 11 repos. Just wanted to confirm this is the case on the off chance I'm doing something wrong. There are also a few packages we need that are missing from base i386 Ubuntu 20.04 so I guess i386 is just dying off? Regards, -David

Hi David, it's been a while like that, the last releases with i386 on apt.pg. were Debian buster (10) and Ubuntu bionic (18.04) > Just wanted to confirm this is the case on the off chance I'm doing > something wrong.

Ubuntu degraded i386 to an "extra architecture without kernel and installer" a while ago, yes. That said, I'm still keeping it enabled on apt.pg.o as a build target on Debian sid because even if I'm not doing that, I'll get the same surprises after uploading to Debian. Better catch that early.

Better catch that early. Thanks for the clarification! It has been nice to be able to test on 32-bit since it is another architecture but I guess we'll need to figure out another scheme. Perhaps test the one PG version that ships with Debian 11 and also run unit tests. Obviously architectures need to be sunset at some point and it looks like i386 has reached that point.
