Error installing on ubuntu

avatar
Explorer

Hi,

 

I am trying to install using the cloudera manager installer. It is failing with the following error:

 

W: Failed to fetch http://archive.cloudera.com/gplextras/ubuntu/precise/amd64/gplextras/dists/precise-gplextras4/Releas... Unable to find expected entry 'contrib/binary-i386/Packages' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

thanks

This is a bit baffling. I created a new Trusty VM, installed CM with
the .bin installer and it went through fine. I checked my apt
repositories and there was no mention of Wheezy. Note that Wheezy is
Debian and Trusty is Ubuntu. The .bin installer would not add the
wheezy bits to /etc/apt

Are you using an older machine/vm for this experiment? Can you check
all files under /etc/apt to see if the wheezy repositories are
present?

From what it looks like, you have 32 bit ubuntu installed, we only support 64bit installation at this point.

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

The message says it cannot find "contrib/binary-i386" which means the OS might be 32-bit. Are you able to show us the output of "uname -a"?

Could you show us the output of /etc/apt/sources.list please?

sources.list contains repos for "trusty" whereas the earlier post was
looking at wheezy-cdh5. So I am a bit confused here. How did you
encounter the error message regarding Wheezy?
