I installed Ubuntu 18.04 and then while installing Virtualbox i get the 'i386' error message after I did:



$ sudo apt-get update

N: Skipping acquire of configured file 'contrib/binary-i386/Packages' as repository 'http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian bionic InRelease' doesn't support architecture 'i386'


I found several answers on Askubuntu for the 'i386' message but I don't know how to apply this to my situation
