   OK, that makes sense because I also get   
      
   $ file /lib/systemd/systemd   
   /lib/systemd/systemd: ELF 32-bit LSB pie executable, ARM, [ETC.]

   I'm starting to wonder if I just moved the SD card and external USB   
   drive from a 2 to a 4B when I got the 4B and kept upgrading. Would   
   that explain this situation?

   Oh, I'm not surprised by that. It will be a bit of a nuisance because   
   the SD card is only used for /boot --- everything else is on the   
   external drive.
