Matt Davis updated CASSANDRA-15889:
-----------------------------------
Description:
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}
$ sudo apt-get update
...
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}
The Redhat RPM contains a "noarch" arch type, so it will download on any host.
(Cassandra does not use separate binaries/releases for different architectures,
so this seems to be the correct approach, but adding an aarch64 variant would
also suffice.)
Note that there is a workaround available: if you specify "amd64" as the arch
in the deb command, it downloads and runs on aarch64 without issue:
{code:bash}
deb [arch=amd64] https://downloads.apache.org/cassandra/debian 311x main
{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 on aarch64 without issue:

{code}
