I know the the command worked because I can access -i386 applications. However,
when I run:

none of the Debian i386 repositories are listed. Why is this the case?
If the mirror has not changed its contents since your last update, apt
will only show *checking* Release files, but won't show downloading new
index files.
For instance, these are shown without an architecture:
Get:1 http://security.debian.org buster/updates InRelease [39.1 kB]
Hit:2 http://ftp.debian.org/debian buster InRelease
Get:3 http://ftp.debian.org/debian buster-updates InRelease [49.3 kB]
Get:4 http://ftp.debian.org/debian buster-backports InRelease [46.7 kB]
But these ones are shown with the one:
Ign:6 http://security.debian.org buster/updates/main arm64 Packages
Ign:7 http://security.debian.org buster/updates/main amd64 Packages
..
Ign:10 http://ftp.debian.org/debian buster-updates/main amd64
Packages.diff/Index
Ign:11 http://ftp.debian.org/debian buster-updates/main arm64
Packages.diff/Index
Also, if you need to check your multiarch status, the following does it
for me (any meaningful library should do it):
apt policy libc6:*

Thanks for the reply. your suggestion shows that the i386 files are,
indeed, there. My main concern is the corollary to Murphy's Law - 'if
one thing is wrong many others are probably at risk also'.
Happily, that doesn't seem to be the case, at least so far!.
