Linux Install Bug

Hi Folks,

The error occurs on Linux Mint (at least). In the instructions for a linux install: https://brave.com/linux/ the command to update the keyring creates an error.

Skipping acquire of configured file 'main/binary-i386/Packages' as repository 'https://brave-browser-apt-release.s3.brave.com stable InRelease' doesn't support architecture 'i386'

It appears to be asking for a 32-bit architecture. To correct this I needed to add arch=amd64 to the line:

echo "deb [signed-by=

Thus the full command reads:

echo "deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/brave-browser-archive-keyring.gpg] https://brave-browser-apt-release.s3.brave.com/ stable main"|sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/brave-browser-release.list

I have NOT checked on any other distos (like debian where there is a 32 bit version).

Hope this helps. PS: I couldn’t find an “errata” section in the forum to report this.
