    Unable to install wine

    Hi,

    I upgraded to Xubuntu 12.04 from 11.10 and now I cannot install wine. I'm on AMD64. Here's the errors I get:

    Code:

    Anyone have a clue? I tried sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade (or dist-upgrade) but there are no updates.
    Archlinux / Ubuntu.

    Re: Unable to install wine

    What does this return?
    Code:
    apt-cache policy wine
    Your ubuntu-wine-ppa-precise.list file is 0 size. Try deleting the file and re-running
    Code:
    apt-get update

    True. I removed all 3rd party PPA's and re-ran apt-get update:

    Code:

    Since I want wine to run 32-bit applications on a 64-bit system - perhaps there's some multilib/multiarch repo/option I have to enable?

    I just installed Wine from the PPA like this, and installed fine: (down the list)

    I tried everything but it doesn't work.

    Could you please post your /etc/apt/sources.list and which files do you have in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ ?
    Archlinux / Ubuntu.

    Yes, on 64 bit systems you have to enable multiarch to get the needed packages. Check if /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/multiarch with the content "foreign-architecture i386" exists. If not create it and try again (you have to run "apt-get update" again).

    Code:
    fackamato@fackamato-fat:~$ cat /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/multiarch
    foreign-architecture i386
    So that looks OK I guess.

    edit: This doesn't seem to be wine specific:

    Re: Unable to install wine

    What is this in the source.list

    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 154 Apr 26 21:16 scottritchie-build-tests-precise.list

    Can PPA purge that and roll your Ubuntu back?
