with apt-cacher-ng, not able to get 32-bit library packages

Running Devuan Daedalus and apt-cacher-ng, I'm not able to install 32-bit library packages (libx11-6:i586 for example).

Doing "dpkg --print-architecture" returns
amd64

Doing "dpkg --print-foreign-architectures" returns
i386
i586

These are the non-comment lines in /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://127.0.0.1:3142/us.deb.devuan.org/merged daedalus main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
deb http://127.0.0.1:3142/us.deb.devuan.org/merged daedalus-security main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
deb http://127.0.0.1:3142/us.deb.devuan.org/merged daedalus-updates main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
deb http://127.0.0.1:3142/us.deb.devuan.org/merged daedalus-backports main contrib non-free non-free-firmware

Doing "apt-get update" returns

Any suggestions?  Thanks in advance.

Hello:

... deb.devuan.org/merged daedalus InRelease' doesn't support architecture 'i586'

Seems to be correct.

As far as I know, Debian Jesse was the last to support i586 (eg: Intel Pentium and Pentium MMX) processors.
Almost 10 tears ago (12/2015).

Maybe someone here at Dev1 has more relevant information.

See here.

Best,

A.
