Install 32 bit wine to 64 bit Dapper without chroot

[Kilz]

Hmm.

Does that mean that there is still no wine in the repos of the Gutsy Beta?

Since I dont run Gutsy I couldnt tell you if there is a 64bit wine package for Gutsy in the Ubuntu repos. But even if there isnt, the Winehq has a repo.. I bet they will have Gutsy debs soon, and the feisty deb would probably work in Gutsy.

You may want to remove that repository. You can edit the apt list at /etc/apt/sources.list

gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

will open it in admin mode so you can edit it.

dpkg: status database area is locked by another process

Means that some other application that installs programs is open. For instance , using dpkg while having synaptic open.

Anybody? Ive checked to see if the files downloaded correctly. I have made sure i change the typing in terminal to mirror the file name and i have the location right.

Please open a new terminal and attempt to install the file. If you have problems please copy everything from the opening of the terminal to the error and paste it here.
