wine installation failure

[matthawi]

Hello all. I'm a ubuntu newbie and I've just installed 8.04. Sadly, I'm not connected to the internet at home. I'm trying to install wine manually, but I get this error from the package installer

Error: dependency is not satisfiable: binfmt-support

I've got no clue what this means. I was trying to install Wine 1.1.7. Could there be another version that could work better? I'm really loving ubuntu and I'm at pains to go back to Windows, but there programs I need to operate with. Please, someone out there...break my chains from Microsoft.

For you to install wine you will need to satisfy its dependencies, you can look here (http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/wine) and see what packages (dependencies) are needed to get wine installed. All the ones with a red dot in front need to be installed to get wine installed. As you can see this can be a small mission without Internet connection. You could try using Keryx (http://keryx.betaserver.org/)or synaptic package manager download script (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Synaptic/PackageDownloadScript) to install wine.
