When I run sudo apt update got this message:

N: Skipping acquire of configured file 'main/binary-i386/Packages' as repository 'http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt hirsute-pgdg InRelease' doesn't support architecture 'i386'

this is output of dpkg --get-selections | awk '/i386/{print $1}'

checked this directory /etc/apt/sources.list.d, but there is nothing about postgres to change it from something like this : REPOCONFIG="deb http://dl.google.com/linux/earth/deb/ stable main" to : REPOCONFIG="deb [arch=amd64] http://dl.google.com/linux/earth/deb/ stable main"

output of rep -r postgresql /etc/apt --include=*.list :

/etc/apt/sources.list.d/pgdg.list:deb http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt hirsute-pgdg main

@N0rbert this is the output `/etc/apt/sources.list.d/pgdg.list:deb http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt hirsute-pgdg main`

@nobody No, I tried everything in that question but not worked. The answer from _N0rbert_ worked and everything is fine now.

You have to edit the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pgdg.list file to change

deb http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt hirsute-pgdg main

to

deb [arch=amd64] http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt hirsute-pgdg main

by sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pgdg.list, Ctrl+o, Ctrl+x.

Then update package lists by sudo apt-get update and so on.

@GriMa the `.list` file depends on the repository that raises the problem. Try `ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d` to compare the name of the `.list` files with the repository reported in the error.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
