Hello,

I seem to be having some trouble running sudo apt-get update. Here's the error I receive:

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
bash: __git_ps1: command not found

I made sure to make my /etc/apt/sources.list consistent with these instructions. I commented out all third-party sources in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ (except for bunsen.list).

As far as I know, my architecture is x86_64.

I have not been able to find much support for the error message.

Any help you may have is most welcome!

Can you show us your /etc/apt/sources.list please?

Head_on_a_Stick · 2016-09-12 17:04:40

^ I think we need to see all of the sources:

grep -v '^$\|^#' /etc/apt/sources.list{,.d/*}

cloverskull, Head_on_a_Stick, thank you for the replies.

Here are the sources:

+ michael@debianT430 ~ $ grep -v '^$\|^#' /etc/apt/sources.list{,.d/*}
/etc/apt/sources.list:deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian jessie main contrib non-free
/etc/apt/sources.list:deb http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib non-free
/etc/apt/sources.list:deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian jessie-updates main contrib non-free
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/bunsen.list:deb http://pkg.bunsenlabs.org/debian bunsen-hydrogen main

What does this say:

dpkg --print-foreign-architectures

mastokley · 2016-09-12 17:50:28

+ michael@debianT430 ~ $ dpkg --print-foreign-architectures
i386
i384

Head_on_a_Stick · 2016-09-12 17:51:39

Try:

sudo dpkg --remove-architecture i384

Thank you so much! That seems to have fixed it. I can run sudo apt-get update.
