% apt-config dump | grep Architecture
APT::Architecture "i386";

My /etc/apt/sources.list should be fine, because I can 'aptitude install' 
just fine, but can't do 'aptitude download':

% aptitude download live-initramfs initramfs-tools

% aptitude install live-initramfs initramfs-tools
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  busybox{a} live-initramfs user-setup{a} 
The following packages are RECOMMENDED but will NOT be installed:
  cryptsetup uuid-runtime

Do you want to continue? [Y/n/?]

Anyway, here is my /etc/apt/sources.list:
http://pastebin.com/m51ab9d7

and my /etc/apt/preferences:

Anything else? Why I can do 'aptitude install' but not 'aptitude 
download'?

thanks
