but, in the upper right a red circle with a minus sign comes up and says

An error occured, please run package manager from the right-click menu or apt-get in a terminal to see what is wrong. There error message was: 'Error: BrokenCount > 0'. this usually means that your installed package have unmet dependencies.

[afixane]

The error message has same meaning. It's mean you've unmet dependency.

[Joshua Parsons]

Ok, so how can i get the met dependency? Like is there a different db file i need or would an older version work?

Like I got the deb file from here

http://dev.carbon-project.org/debian/wine-unstable/

[afixane]

Are you connected to internet? If yes, just type this

sudo apt-get install wine1.4

[oldos2er]

Installing packages meant for a different distro is not really a good idea unless you know exactly what you're doing. May I ask why you're not using wine from Ubuntu's repositories?

[laopaishpe]

same reason I'm here: 307 MB of crap dependencies, which is a bit much when you try to fit everything on a 4GB usb stick (yes, I could, I have 1.7G left, thanks2 LXDE, but y would I ?)
