Installation problem on Debian Lenny (libfontconfig).

[russian.qwerty]

On Debian Lenny 5.0.2 with standard distros:

Code: Select all

debian# cat /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian lenny main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main contrib
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main contrib
deb http://volatile.debian.org/debian-volatile lenny/volatile main contrib
deb-src http://volatile.debian.org/debian-volatile lenny/volatile main contrib

In standard distros I found only wine 1.0.1.
According "Wine for Debian Lenny, Squeeze and Sid":

Code: Select all

debian# apt-get remove libwine wine
debian# echo "deb http://www.lamaresh.net/apt lenny main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
debian# wget -O - http://www.lamaresh.net/apt/key.gpg | apt-key add -
debian# apt-get update && apt-get install wine

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:
  wine: Depends: libfontconfig but it is not installable
E: Broken packages

debian# dpkg --list | grep libfontconfig
ii  libfontconfig1                       2.6.0-3                    generic font configuration library - runtime

I see that many people are faced with that problem, but there is no solution yet.
I have the same error during installation from .deb package.

I'm one of those people having the same problem.

Problem can be solved by either recompiling the wine deb package from winehq.org or either make a quick hack on the libfontconfig1 source

by adding

Provides: libfontconfig

inside debian/control in the lines for libfontconfig1 and then recompiling the package to generate a new deb.
Please refer to debian documentation on how to do that and what commands supply.
Even if i was able to install the newer wine package by doing so atm my accelleration in wine is disabled but i still haven't tested to see if it's a problem related to a big change between libfontconfig and libfontconfig1 or it's a problem related to my xorg.

Hi guys,

I'm the maintainer of the Debian packages. The libfontconfig dependency on i386 packages for 1.1.27 was a typo on my part.

Until new packages (1.1.27~winehq1-2 and 1.1.28~winehq1-1) are added to the repository, please use the following packages:

Thanks for the info.

And a BIG thanks for being the Debian maintainer.
