Hi, For your information, httpredir can return a non-complete repository. This problem happened many times, with the selection of debian.grena.ge which does not contain the amd64 packages. Result of apt update
Err:15 http://debian.grena.ge/debian sid/main i386 Packages 404 Not Found E: Failed to fetch http://debian.grena.ge/debian/dists/sid/main/binary-i386/ Packages 404 Not Found E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
