    Can't run WINE due to unresolved package dependencies

    I hope someone can help me here.

    I'll give you the information you need as best I can.

    I am trying to install wine.

    1. Ubuntu software center.
    2. type in Wine.
    3. Click on the 5th Wine Microsoft Windows Compatibility Layer (Binary Emulator and Library)
    4. Click install and put in the password.
    5. An error comes up that says:

    "Package Dependencies cannot be resolved

    This error could be caused by required additional software packages which are missing or not installable. Furthermore there could be a conflict between sofware packages which are not allowed to be installed at this time."

    6. ...Then, an error comes up that says:

    "The application Ubuntu Software Center has experienced an internal error.

    There was an error submitting the transaction.

    Send an error report to help fix this problem."

    --

    What does this mean and what can I do to fix this?

    Thank you for any and all help.

    P.S. I am running Ubuntu 12.10 on an HP Laptop.

    Re: Can't run WINE due to unresolved package dependencies

    Well, since it's saying that it depends on wine1.5 but you're not installing it, you should probably try to do that (sudo apt-get install wine1.5).

    Re: Can't run WINE due to unresolved package dependencies

    there is a package that influences the installation of google earth and wine, which is the cause of many installation failures: ia32-libs-multiarch

    My only left suggestion is this:

    correct commands are:

    Code:
    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa
    Code:
    sudo apt-get install wine1.5

    Re: Can't run WINE due to unresolved package dependencies

    Wine seems to have problems installing on 64bit ubuntu systems now. I installed 32bit virsion in a chroot which works okay, but is a bit of a pain to set up.

    It's the same thing indeed. If you're still willing to try, post the output of "sudo apt-get install wine1.5-i386" and "sudo apt-get install wine1.5-i386:i386" (without the "s). It might be something helpful.
