Hello,
I recently tried to install Skype on Ubuntu Desktop 15.04 Vivid. In doing so I accidentally tried to add some i386 packages to a 64 bit machine. I have now found that I cannot update (or upgrade) packages, as when I run sudo apt-get update I get:
W: Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/vivid/InRelease Unable to find expected entry 'main/binary-i396/Packages' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)
W: Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/vivid-updates/InRelease Unable to find expected entry 'main/binary-i396/Packages' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)

W: Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/vivid-security/InRelease Unable to find expected entry 'main/binary-i396/Packages' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)
W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/tualatrix/ppa/ubuntu/dists/vivid/main/source/Sources 404 Not Found
W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/tualatrix/ppa/ubuntu/dists/vivid/main/binary-amd64/Packages 404 Not Found
W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/tualatrix/ppa/ubuntu/dists/vivid/main/binary-i396/Packages 404 Not Found
I have tried to purge the ppa, remove all references to skype and my /etc/apt/sources.list.d folder is empty.
Is there a solution to this? NB it is similar to other problems listed on the forum, but none of those solutions (listed above) seemed to work. I suspect the solution is in correcting my spelling mistake from "i396" to "i386", or removing those packages altogether, but I am not sure how this is done. Thanks.
