Can't find some packages in the raspbian repo under Resin

I’m running into a weird issue and suspect I’m just missing something simple.

Under vanilla raspbian jessie, the kodi package installs just fine from archive.raspbian.org. But when I run a Resin deployment on raspbian jessie, the package can’t be found.

I’ve verified that /etc/apt/sources.list looks good, and I can go onto the archive and see the package on archive.raspbian.org in main. So why can’t I see it in the Resin container?

Ah, figured this out – it seems the kodi packages are built for armv7 but not armv6, so switching to the rpi2 images from the rpi images does the trick. (‘uname -a’ to the rescue!)
