AFAIK, /etc/sources.list does not record architectures; it only records mirrors, which may have one architecture on them or may have multiple. In order to see whether or not you have 'i386' available as an enabled architecture, you can run: $ dpkg --print-foreign-architectures (That's assuming it isn't your native architecture, which since you suggest that it might be incorrect I'm assuming it isn't.) > apt-cache search libllvm | grep i386 'apt-cache search' does not report architecture qualifiers for packages. In comparison, you can run: $ apt-cache policy packagename packagename:i386 and you should see that it shows you available-version and installed-version information for both architectures for that package. > aptitude search libllvm | grep i386 <snip> > What did I miss?
