I didn't add any repositories. afaik it came preinstalled with the ubuntu wine repositories. I was able to download packages before just fine. Maybe there was a mismatch between my old debian version and the ubuntu wine repository.

Raspbian Jessie or whatever unofficial Debian spin it is—run-wine-on-raspberry-pi—is not a Debian release and as other forum members have commented is quite old based, as it is, on Debian Jessie, which is now oldoldstable. You might like to consider installing Buster as detailed, for example at itsfoss.com/debian-raspberry-pi.
Adding unofficial third-party repositories and installing their packages, apart from any security concerns, may cause breakage so they should be replaced with the official ones provided by Debian. But I think that Raspbian is probably a better choice if your main interest is running wine programs and applications.

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 systemd : Depends: libsystemd0 (= 215-17+deb8u2) but 215-17+deb8u13 is installed
           Recommends: libpam-systemd but it is not installed
 systemd-sysv : Depends: systemd (= 215-17+deb8u7) but 215-17+deb8u2 is installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.

I think I need the systemd package before I can use apt-get for anything else

.

The reason why I run the old stable version is because of the emulated x86 architecture. It is the only image currently supportex by exagear. It doesn't look like there will be an update soon. I was able to install other packages before wine just fine. Maybe the reason is because wine is from a different source (ubuntu).

Sorry I didn't have aptitude installed. There is no way to install new packages at the moment. Everything else is running fine. Maybe I can edit the PPA files from outside the debian image. I have full access to all files inside the Debian8 with my Raspbian distro.

Looks like there's a mismatch between the installed version of systemd:
Installed: 215-17+deb8u2
Candidate: 215-17+deb8u7
And libsystemd0
Installed: 215-17+deb8u13
You can confirm this with the command:

Code: Select all

# apt-cache policy systemd libsystemd0

The current installed versions should be identical.
And, while you are about it, unless you have cleaned out the cache, see if you have the previous version of libsystemd0

Code: Select all

# ls /var/cache/apt/archives |grep libsystemd0

It looks like they are not identical. At least the security patch version (deb8u2 and deb8u13) are a mismatch.

Code: Select all

I might have cleaned my cache trying to fix this mess :/

Code: Select all

pi@raspberrypi:~ $  ls /var/cache/apt/archives |grep libsystemd0
libsystemd0_215-17+deb8u13_i386.deb

only the new version seems to be left

Looks like the wrong architecture for a raspberry pi if you ask me.

It's an emulated environment for the i386 architecture. The x86 packages are correct (see screenshot) https://i.imgur.com/cgtX1UJ.jpg . I specifically want to be able to run x86 applications otherwise not supported on the ARM architecture.

Exagear isn't a proper forum topic for discussion here because it's a third-party setup, not official Debian.
It's outside my field so all I can suggest is that you search for, and try options to try and solve the issue of "unmet dependencies." See for instance what-is-the-step-by-step-procedure-to-fix-the-the-following-packages-have-unmet-dependences.

Okay, thank you for your help. I think I learned a lot through this process.

I will try purging systemd and init using

Code: Select all

 apt purge systemd
