error:could not apply changes. Fix broken packages first

[black&blue]

hello all. thank you very much for looking at my topic!
i have some trouble when try to install wine.
i did as http://www.winehq.org/download/deb .after add the wineHQ APT repsitory and try to intall wine,i get a message "could not apply changes. Fix broken packages first".(my ubuntu is 9.10).
then i load up synaptic,choose "custom filter"-->"broken",but no broken packages.
what should i do?

First off all: Any reason for choosing to download from winehq? Could you have chosen wrong distro?

I've used this link: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766683 to install what I need. Hope it helps.

Running in the terminal.


sudo apt-get install -f
or

sudo dpkg --configure -a
should resolve issues 90% of the time.

Well, are you going to post the output of those two commands then?

Saying that "it doesn't work" will not magically tell us what the problem is.

Same here.... the output of the commands given is the same, but the installation of wine doesn't start

[bluelamp999]

This exact same thing is happening to me too.

Any more assistance?

Thanks

Update!

Went to Ubuntu Software Centre and installed it from there. Now have Wine 1.1.35

Go figure...
