Problem installing wine wine32:i386 : Depends: libwine:i386

#1 Post by 4joeyirosh1 »

Hi!I am running Debian 9.5 Stretch 64 bit.

I am using the 2 following guides for installing wine

https://wiki.debian.org/Wine

https://tecadmin.net/install-wine-on-ubuntu-and-debian/

I have added on my sources.list the following repos

deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/debian/ stretch main
deb-src https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/debian/ stretch main

and enabled multiarch by running command below

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 && sudo apt update

but when the update command runs it shows me the following messages

N: Skipping acquire of configured file 'main/binary-i386/Packages' as repository 'http://dl.google.com/linux/earth/deb stable InRelease' doesn't support architecture 'i386'
E: Failed to fetch https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/debia ... /InRelease Unable to find expected entry 'main/source/Sources' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)
E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

Also when I try installing wine32 I get message below

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
wine32:i386 : Depends: libwine:i386 (= 1.8.7-2) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

How can I resolve this?

You don't need any external sources to install wine, it's in Debian repo. Seems you have other 3rd party repos too, which is not a good thing.

Even when I remove the winehq repo I still get error below while installing wine32


Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I seriously doubt that the opera and tor repos could be contributing to this issue.

Well the problem from 3rd party repos is, that you don't know what library versions they use, good change is, that is not the same than in stable Debian. So if the error remains, read the link I gave, and try to follow that in the future.

Probably in some file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/.

Can you elaborate ? AFAICS, you can see what library versions they use, just like any Debian repository.

IIRC, I have investigated this issue recently and concluded that some wine dependencies lack multiarch support.

Recently here has been so many FrankenDebian candidates, that I suspect most of them just add repositiries without further examining. Then they come here when problems arise. And I don't know other distro, that has testing period, which means they have newer software, including libraries.

If you install Google Earth Pro from the deb provided by Google, it will add the repository via a file in the /etc/apt/sources.list.d directory. The message is only a warning that they don't provide any i386 packages in the repo.

Usually the best way to track down the base cause of the problem is to use the command line to drill down the chain of packages that won't install until you get to the one at the root of the issue. So the next thing to try is:

Code: Select all

apt-get install libwine:i386
When that fails because of still another problem package, just try installing that one. Repeat until you get to the one at the root. If you don't understand what it's saying, at least post the chain of commands and outputs here in a code box.
