There are various types or architectures of processors. Software needs to be compatible with the architecture of the processor you are using. If you, for example, are running an amd64 processor, you need to use software compatible with amd64. Software built for other architectures, for example for aarch64, will not work with that processor.

As deb packages contain (among other things) software, they also are assigned to an architecture. A package built for aarch64 will not work with a riscv64 machine, for example.

In your specific case, you are trying to get packages for the architecture i386 from a repository. The message is telling you that this repository does not offer packages for i386 (but probably for other architectures). Because of this, the repository is skipped.

In short, the software from this repository will not work with your computer and/or your operating system. Maybe you can replace your operating system with one using a different architecture, but that depends on what your hardware can handle. At least you'll need to check whether your computer is using a 32bit or 64bit processor. i386 is a 32bit architecture, but 64bit has been the standard for years and years. Most software is no longer offered for 32bit architectures.

As a general remark, you will want to actually read the messages your computer is showing you. In this case, it's spelling out the problem almost literally ;)

Skipping acquire of configured file '...' as repository '...' doesn't support architecture 'i386
