I did try to install openhab and by mistake I run a script that had added armf repositories to my Linux x86 machine. Now every time I do apt update I have a bunch of errors plus I can see the Ign (ignored) for arm packages being listed. Is there an easy way to remove them?

That eliminated some of those but I still see a lot of them: > **[Sources - Pastebin.com](https://pastebin.com/GEF2qPi3)** > > Pastebin.com is the number one paste tool since 2002. Pastebin is a website where you can store text online for a set period of time. ---

Check `/etc/apt/sources.list` then, it’s a file. Delete the lines you don’t want. ---

Did you by chance use PPA repositories?

Maybe this is an option : ``` sudo apt-get remove --purge `dpkg --get-selections | grep armhf | awk '{print $1}'` ````auto followed by ``` sudo dpkg --remove-architecture armhf ```` ---

I think this thread from 8 months ago is not related to your repositories 😉 ---

The discussion here was “How to remove a PPA”, so even though this discussion is 8 months old, this how-to is still valid and relates to removal of any PPA, new or old. 😉 ---
