Matt Davis created CASSANDRA-15889: -------------------------------------- Summary: Debian package fails to download on Arm-based hosts Key: CASSANDRA-15889 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-15889 Project: Cassandra Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Matt Davis
Following the first three steps of the [Debian install process|https://cassandra.apache.org/download/], after an apt-get update you'll see this line: {code:bash} N: Skipping acquire of configured file 'main/binary-arm64/Packages' as repository 'https://downloads.apache.org/cassandra/debian 311x InRelease' doesn't support architecture 'arm64' {code} Checking the [Debian repo|https://dl.bintray.com/apache/cassandra/dists/311x/main/] confirms there is no aarch64 variant available. Should you then attempt to install Cassandra: {code:bash} sudo apt-get install cassandra Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Package cassandra is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package 'cassandra' has no installation candidate {code} Note that the Redhat RPM contains a "noarch" arch type, so it downloads properly on any host. (Given that Cassandra does not use separate binaries/releases for different architectures, this seems to be the correct approach for Debian. That said, adding an aarch64 variant would also suffice.) Also, there is a workaround available: if you specify "amd64" as the arch in the deb command, it downloads and runs without issue: {code:bash} deb [arch=amd64] https://downloads.apache.org/cassandra/debian 311x main {code} -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: commits-unsubscr...@cassandra.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: commits-h...@cassandra.apache.org
