I suspect (so I'm not sure) that that this means you've got a cpu that
is physically capable of running in 64 bit mode, but you installed a
in i686 operating system so only the 32 bit mode is actually available
to you. It would be interesting to run uname as
uname -a
and see what it tells you. In my case I get
Linux snowball 5.8.0-2-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.8.10-1 (2020-09-19) x86_64 GNU/Linux
I'll hazard a guess that the places that say amd64 and x86_64 will say
things related to i686 instead.
