Error message when trying to install WineHQ on Linux Mint 21.1

Post by RobertX »

I just added Linux Mint 21.1 and, after following the instructions, the command prompt craps out and says this:
winehq-stable : Depends: wine-stable (= 7.0.1~jammy-1)
Yes, I did try to fix the broken packages by entering both

Code: Select all

apt-get install -f
and

Code: Select all

apt-get install --fix-broken
Should I just revert to the previous Mint version?

UPDATE: It seems that going back to Linux Mint 21 is the way to go.

They still need to take the 21.1 back to the drawing board.

Go with Mint 21, folks; problem solved.

After the release of 8.0-rc2 I'm able to install that version in my computer. I've faced that problem too, after a fresh install.

But, on an "updated" PC (from 21 to 21.1), the previous versions worked normally.

So...

Fresh 21.1 install -> WineHQ 8.0-rc2 is working
Updated from 21 to 21.1 -> Everything is working
