Has anyone been able to install WINE?

**Cheesemill** · May 28th, 2012

Hi there guys.

I've been trying to install WINE on my Quantal machine for several weeks but aptitude has never been able to resolve the dependencies quoting several internal errors. Does anyone know if this is a problem with aptitude or just a case of the required packages not being in sync on the repositories?

Also has anyone managed to install WINE (maybe on a 32-bit system) ?

Code:

root@quantal:~# aptitude install wine

Both aptitude & apt-get seem to have some 'nonsense' if installing wine, at least in a 64 bit install

In apt-get's case it wants to "126 newly installed, 8 to remove", the 8 removed shouldn't be & can be re-installed after, this happens in 12.04 also
(cdbs dh-translations gnome-common gnome-pkg-tools gtk-doc-tools intltool lintian quilt

In aptitudes case it wants to install 132 packages but shows what you posted

The idea that one needs 1/2 a GB to install wine in 64 bit seems a bit silly, but if I had to chose apt-get or aptitude I'd go with the former which should work fine

**Cheesemill** · May 28th, 2012

I've just tried using apt-get and it successfully installed all 147 packages and didn't try to remove any.

It's strange that aptitude failed in this case but is usually more successful in resolving dependencies, in fact I always use aptitude and never use apt-get, it didn't occur to me that apt-get would be more successful.

Marking as solved (although any input on the aptitude situation would still be welcome).

**mc4man** · May 28th, 2012

That's one of those which side of the fence deals, - myself almost never use aptitude, apt-get has always worked fine (the 8 removed here are an anomaly & it's not worth tracking down why.

For the most part I use synaptic for pretty much everything anyway, apt-get mainly for sources & build-deps

**stoneguy** · June 23rd, 2012

Looks like WINE isn't ready yet for official QQ repos. If you're willing to walk on the wild side, get it from the unstable, unsupported ppa:ricotz/staging. The only error you should get is the lack of a compatible winetricks.

**jbicha** · June 23rd, 2012

Wine installs just fine here. apt-get is the Ubuntu recommended CLI tool.

Using Ricotz' staging PPA is good if you want git snapshots of the latest development code; most people shouldn't need that.

**Starks** · June 24th, 2012

jbicha, is there an estimate as to when 32-bit Wine components will be buildable on 64-bit Ubuntu again?

It is pretty much impossible to test upstream patches on 12.04 and 12.10.

**jbicha** · June 24th, 2012

Starks, I don't understand your question. You probably should probably file a bug (ubuntu-bug wine1.4) with more details about your specific problem. As far as I can tell, wine works fine in Ubuntu 12.04 and 12.10.

**Starks** · June 24th, 2012

It's simple. It is impossible to build Wine's 32-bit libraries on 64-bit Ubuntu right now due to multiarch not working right with dev packages.

Just installed Wine 1.4 last night on my qq 64 bit using apt-get install. The install went smoothly without any err.msg.
