My objective is to get an email notification when an update is available

It sounds simple. Something like this should already exist, right? The

Yes, this is, where the entry "i386" is put in. I remember, to execute the
command "dpkg --add-architecture i386" a very long time ago.
Thus, aptitude now knows about it.

I am wondering, why aptitude is showing me (incorrectlly?) libllvm*:i386 and
apt-get not.
I have no i386 entry in sources.list, but where does aptitude get its

apt-cache search libllvm | grep i386
aptitude search libllvm | grep i386
