Hello

I have installed Alpine 3.3 on a Asus Eee box (x86) it's running perfectly fine, but i am not able to update or upgrade packages from any repository.

Content of apk/repositories

#/media/usb/apks
http://dl-2.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.3/main/x86/

I get the following warning when i try to update or upgrade:

srv1:/etc/apk# apk update

The FAQ states that if i get an warning on APKINDEX.xxxxx.tar.gz it's probably due to a repository pointing to /testing. i don't have any addresses pointing to */testing.

I am able to download packages from the repository using wget, so i don't think it has anything to do with networking.

aaudit-0.7.2-r1.apk  100% |*****************************************|  3112   0:00:00 ETA
srv1:/etc/apk#

How do i fix this? :)

Remove the architecture path from the repo url, the package manager apk will fetch the right one. Also, add the community repo and run apk update
