[jira] [Comment Edited] (CASSANDRA-15889) Debian package fails to
download on Arm-based hosts
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-15889?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17264665#comment-17264665 ]

I missed any notifications from [~mattsplat] too. Apologies for that Matt!
[~e.dimitrova], we should test, confirm, and do the "in the meantime" as Matt suggests four comments above.
I am curious how {{[arch=amd64]}} doesn't break it for any debian distribution and architecture, like {{i386}}. But my debian package management foo is weak here.

> Key: CASSANDRA-15889
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-15889
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Build
> Reporter: Matt Davis
> Priority: Normal
> Labels: ARM, debian
> Fix For: 2.2.x, 3.0.x, 3.11.x, 4.0-rc
>
>
> 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}
> Note that there is a workaround available: if you specify "amd64" as the arch for the source, it downloads and runs on Arm without issue:
> {code:bash}
> echo "deb [arch=amd64] https://downloads.apache.org/cassandra/debian 311x main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cassandra.sources.list
> {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.)
