hello

i'm trying to install htcondor (http://research.cs.wisc.edu/htcondor/) from their debian repository (http://research.cs.wisc.edu/htcondor/debian/).

( yes, i know that they offer a .deb version for ubuntu for download, but as i need to create a mirror of htcondor, i prefer to be able to install and mirror directly from a complete repository. )

the problem is that the repository with the sources.list line

deb http://research.cs.wisc.edu/htcondor/debian/stable/ wheezy contrib
does not provide any packages for the i386 architecture; only amd64 is supported. while the condor package installs prefectly.

$ apt-get update
complains

W: Failed to fetch http://research.cs.wisc.edu/htcondor/debian/stable/dists/wheezy/contrib/binary-i386/Packages 404 Not Found

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

and therefore the grapical updater warns me about outdated packages after a few days (at least on precise).

is there a way to tell apt to only get amd64 packages for this url? or is there another way to fix this?

ok, i have found a (the?) solution:

deb http://research.cs.wisc.edu/htcondor/debian/stable/ dists/wheezy/contrib/binary-amd64/
as sources.list entry does the trick.
