Installing Wine on 15.10 - broken package/dependency errors

[chellrose]

I have a fresh install of Ubuntu 15.10. I am trying to install Wine, and have so far tried 3 methods:

1)

sudo apt-get install wine

2) The ubuntu-wine repository
3) The official Wine HQ repository

I have tried suggestions here, here, and here to no avail. I have added the i386 architecture via

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386

and have verified that all of my software sources are for wily. I currently have only the Wine HQ ppa (I removed the Ubuntu-wine ppa) and am trying to install from there.

Command:

 sudo apt-get install --install-recommends winehq-devel

Result: https://paste.ubuntu.com/24228453/


Command:

sudo apt-get install --install-recommends wine-devel

Result: https://paste.ubuntu.com/24228457/


I am able to install wine-devel-amd64. However, the i386 version creates errors:

Command:

sudo apt-get install --install-recommends wine-devel-i386

Result: https://paste.ubuntu.com/24228465/


And lastly, I tried using aptitude rather than apt-get as suggested in the first thread linked above:

sudo aptitude install wine-devel-i386

Result: https://paste.ubuntu.com/24228469/


Please help. Thanks!

(Sorry for all the pastebins, it's the only way I could get the thread to post without error.)

Thread moved to the "Wine" forum for a better fit.

Ubuntu 15.10 is no longer supported and the update servers are shut down. Consider upgrading to Ubuntu 16.04.1 as it will be supported until 2021

[chellrose]

Thanks. Unfortunately, I have to have fglrx/amdcccle in order to make my graphics card and TV play nicely together. (The open-source driver doesn't work for my particular setup.) So unfortunately, upgrading isn't an option for me.

Updated information: after doing some more reading, I tried installing wine via synaptic package manager.

If I choose to install ordinary "wine", Synaptic just tells me the package is broken.

However, if I mark "wine-hq-devel" for installation, it gives me a warning about removing packages. Synaptic says that in order to install wine-hq-devel, it needs to remove (among others) fglrx-core and amdcccle. I need these packages for my graphics card/TV setup, so having them removed isn't an option.

I don't have to have the latest development version of Wine; I would be content with whatever version is in the wily repositories. However,

sudo apt-get install wine

has similar dependency problems to those I listed above.

I'm not sure if purging all that you have done with regards wine and changing your repository souces to point to "old-releases" would then allow you to install the wine1.6 package that came with 15.10 or not.

An alternative might be to install 14.04.5 which is supported till 2019 and will be able make use of the fglrx ect packages.

[chellrose]

How do I make the repository sources point to old-releases? I tried

sudo add-apt-repository old-releases.ubuntu.com

and it said it was invalid.

[howefield]

How do I make the repository sources point to old-releases?

Sorry, I think I'd recant the suggestion of using old-releases back. I don't see any mention of wily at http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/.

What does..

sudo apt-get install wine1.6

give you ?

[chellrose]

That gives me

and

sudo apt-get install wine 1.6-i386

gives

Edit: I've reinstalled 14.04 and have Wine and fglrx working. Thanks for your help!
