    Failed to install wine 4.12 instead of the latest one on Ubuntu 18.04

    Hi,

    We are developing a custom application on 64Bit in Windows and we need to run it in Ubuntu 18.04
    With wine 4.12 our application worked. The wineprefix used was 64.

    With wine 4.15 the same application (no changes were done in the code) is not working anymore.
    How can I downgrade from wine-devel 4.15 to wine-devel 4.12?

    Thank you,
    Lavinia

    You could just go direct to the repo to download & install the version you want:

    https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ub.../binary-amd64/

    Read this as well regarding wine-devel 4.15: http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/...mplementation/

    Or you can use apt to do this for you.
    See what versions are available in the repo:

    Code:
    # apt-cache policy wine-devel
    For example with the program apache2:

    Code:
    # apt-cache policy apache2
    apache2:
      Installed: (none)
      Candidate: 2.4.38-2ubuntu2.2
      Version table:
         2.4.38-2ubuntu2.2 500
            500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu disco-updates/main amd64 Packages
            500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu disco-security/main amd64 Packages
         2.4.38-2ubuntu2 500
            500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu disco/main amd64 Packages
    Install the version you want:
    Code:
    # apt-get install apache2=2.4.38-2ubuntu2.2
    If you don't want newer versions to be installed on updates, pin the package:

    Code:
    # apt-mark hold wine-devel
    /path/to/Truth

    As well as getting the earlier version installed for your own needs it would be nice to start a dialogue with the Wine devs to identify what it is that the application you're writing does that causes problems with the later version. Since it's your own application you are uniquely placed to find the regression.
