Bazel: apt-get update : W: Failed to fetch http://storage.googleapis.com/bazel-apt/dists/stable/InRelease Unable to find expected entry 'jdk1.8/binary-i386/Packages' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)

After following the instructions for installing the apt repo :

1. Add Bazel distribution URI as a package source (one time setup)

$ echo "deb http://storage.googleapis.com/bazel-apt stable jdk1.8" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/bazel.list
$ curl https://storage.googleapis.com/bazel-apt/doc/apt-key.pub.gpg | sudo apt-key add -

1. Update and install Bazel

$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install bazel

the update fails with :

W: Failed to fetch http://storage.googleapis.com/bazel-apt/dists/stable/InRelease Unable to find expected entry 'jdk1.8/binary-i386/Packages' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

apt-get install bazel still seems to work, but this does break apt-get update (returns non-zero)

Just ran into the same problem, it looks like there's no 32 bit release. The workaround is to change the first command to:

echo "deb [arch=amd64] http://storage.googleapis.com/bazel-apt stable jdk1.8" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/bazel.list

I still get this kind of error will after

curl -k https://bazel.build/bazel-release.pub.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb [arch=amd64] http://storage.googleapis.com/bazel-apt stable jdk1.8" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/bazel.list

the error turn to be 407 authentication required
W: Failed to fetch http://storage.googleapis.com/bazel-apt/dists/stable/jdk1.8/binary-amd64/Packages 407 authenticationrequired

https://docs.bazel.build/versions/master/install-ubuntu.html#install-on-ubuntu should be updated to use:

echo "deb [arch=amd64] https://storage.googleapis.com/bazel-apt stable jdk1.8" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/bazel.list (HTTPS)

instead of:

echo "deb [arch=amd64] http://storage.googleapis.com/bazel-apt stable jdk1.8" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/bazel.list (HTTP).

That fixes the authentication error from sudo apt update and bazel can get installed.
