Synaptic: Could not download all repository indices
I've been trying on and off to fix this and I have come to the point where I need to ask for help. The last thing I did was visit here (Update manager: "Could not download all repository indices")... also this Ubuntu Forums post
I've been getting this for reasons:
W:Failed to fetch http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty/Release
Unable to find expected entry 'main/binary-386/Packages' in Release file
(Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)
W:Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty/Release
Unable to find expected entry 'main/binary-386/Packages' in Release file
(Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)
W:Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty-security/Release
Unable to find expected entry 'main/binary-386/Packages' in Release file
(Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)
W:Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty-updates/Release
Unable to find expected entry 'main/binary-386/Packages' in Release file
(Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)
E:Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
The last link deals with the i386 arch which I added, I believe, so I could use the Android SDK with Eclipse. I started to install things outside of Synaptic but MySQL Server 5.5 did me in and I need this to test out ideas for Android app development. I know through Synaptic it will be a breeze if I can get it running. (And future package management)
/etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu trusty main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu trusty main restricted universe multiverse
###### Ubuntu Update Repos
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu trusty-security main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu trusty-updates main restricted universe multiverse

deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu trusty-updates main restricted universe multiverse
###### Ubuntu Extras Repo
deb http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu trusty main
deb-src http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu trusty main
There are no entries in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
Wish I could be more helpful with the timeframes but I have no clue what I did to make it happen or when exactly it happened. My system worked fine for some time and has been like this for some time.

Searching for "add i386 repositories", I stumbled across the suggestion to specify an architecture in the sources.list file to prevent these warnings.
I placed [arch=amd64] after the word deb on each line of the file.
I did not add anything to the deb-src lines.
This solved the problem.
