Ok.. after about an hour of wasted searching to find this file, its no where to be found where it belongs...
/etc/apt/apt.conf
Ok.. so what is the apt config?
its moved so lets look:
echo $APT_CONFIG
empty
I need to remove the "APT::Architectures:: "i386";" as I do not wish to use multiarch, thanks, but no thanks. I only want to see 64bit stuff from apt/synaptic
So where is this apt.conf file? I've looked in the dirs listed from apt-config dump, with no joy.
/etc/apt/apt.conf
