wine on synaptic

[jarg]

I searched through synaptic for "wine" but am confused about which packets I need. I have no clue which is what,
Anybody know which packets I need or should have on hand?

If you go to a command prompt and type:

sudo apt-get install wine

that should get you wine and it's dependencies. It worked for me. Obviously you might not have a complete sources.list but give it a try.

E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?

It gave me two errors after I entered my password. I don't really understand these errors. I think the first one is saying that not everything is avlible and the second is saying somthing else is running.

You need to close the Synaptic package manager before running that command. That should get rid of those errors.

Thanks, could you also tell what I type in the terminal to run games?

I put that command into the terminal and got this message.

"Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Package wine is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package wine has no installation candidate"

I don't get it. I NEED WINE. Someone please help!

You need to add the extra repostiories in /etc/apt/sources.list

Also in the forums there is a backports. When it happens the latest wine will be there.
