My first post meant as feedback.
I have a raspberry pi4 running on debian 12 (bookworm). I an error message after following the instructions on page [enable Tor Package Repository in Debian](https://support.torproject.org/apt/tor-deb-repo/), although the raspberry pi met all the requirements. dpkg --print-architecture says **arm64** and lsb\_release -c says **bookworm**. As suggested in action 2 . I created the file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/tor.list with the lines:
```auto
deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/deb.torproject.org-keyring.gpg] https://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org main
deb-src [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/deb.torproject.org-keyring.gpg] https://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org main
```
where DISTRUBUTION was replaced by “bookworm”
When performing a sudo apt update I got the error:
> Skipping acquire of configured file ‘main/binary-armhf/Packages’ as repository ‘[Index of /torproject.org](https://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org) bookworm InRelease’ doesn’t support architecture ‘armhf’
I do not know what is causing this error for the raspberry pi4 is an arm64 and not a 32bit armhf. I can prevent this error when adding the architecture to both lines in file tor.list, like:
```auto
deb [arch=arm64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/deb.torproject.org-keyring.gpg] https://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org bookworm main
deb-src [arch=arm64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/deb.torproject.org-keyring.gpg] https://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org bookworm main
```
I would like to addresses this to the maintainer of the web page `Why and how I can enable Tor Package Repository in Debian?` but I do not know how.
I have one remark to be added. I think you still can install a 32bit OS on the raspberry pi4. I installed a 64 bits version. So always check the architecture using command: dpkg --print-architecture.
I installed:
Release date: November 19th 2024
System: 64-bit
Kernel version: 6.6
Debian version: 12 (bookworm)
Size: 438MB

Hi I’m on Debian Bullseye on my Raspberry Pi 4 and I was not able to fix the repositories, what worked for me is I downloaded 2 files and installed them using dpkg:
[https://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/t/tor/](https://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/t/tor/)
tor\_0.4.8.12-1~bpo11+1\_armhf.deb
tor-geoipdb\_0.4.8.12-1~bpo11+1\_all.deb
Executing dpkg --print-architecture results in armhf
and executing tor --version results in
Tor version 0.4.8.12.
This build of Tor is covered by the GNU General Public License ([The GNU General Public License v3.0 - GNU Project - Free Software Foundation](https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.en.html))

Tor compiled with GCC version 10.2.1
Hope this helps…
