Ask for help on the Ubuntu forum. This is a package manager problem.

You appear to have a broken (in-place) upgrade to 16.04 - I would say you need to fix that first!!
In practice that means making sure:

• all your ppa repositories point at the xenial 16.04 release
• purging any remaining (installed) packages from 15.10 ppa repositories

A quick 'n' dirty check for stale 15.04 ppa 's would be:

Code: Select all

grep -R ' wily ' /etc/apt

Beyond that - shrugs ... Debian just isn't really my thing - package breakage - like yours - is just too common...

I noticed you're using the Ubuntu PPA for Wine. Have you considered using the official wine PPA? Sometimes the package builds are broken (I noticed that using Mint, which is based off of Ubuntu). As mentioned, I had problems installing wine a while back. I found my solution was what I suggested, use the official wine ppa. I did that and it worked. For ease, here's a simple guide (I've divided it into half, first part is for removing any existing version of wine from your system (which will make the install much cleaner) and the second part is for installing):

1. Remove wine, winetricks, and anything on your system with wine in its name:

Code: Select all

$ dpkg-query --list 'wine*'

and note each instance with "ii" in the far left column (meaning installed).
next, type

Code: Select all

$ sudo apt-get remove wineversion

where version is replaced with the wine version noted in above dpkg query.
Example if wine version 1.8 is installed

Code: Select all

$ sudo apt-get remove wine1.8

do this for every instance of wine in the query (i.e. winetricks).
Run dpkg to make sure every instance of wine is removed (will "un" in far left column for uninstalled).
Once all says "un", run:

Code: Select all

$ which wine

and note the location (if there is any). the default is /usr/bin/wine
next run:

Code: Select all

$ rm -r ~/.wine
$ rm -r ~/usr/bin/wine
$ rm -r ~/usr/bin/wine*
$ rm -r ~/usr/local/share/wine

Last, run:

Code: Select all

$ sudo apt-get autoremove

2. add the wine repository, update and install newest developer version (developer editions are much more updated and fluid. I find that they fix problems quicker than the build releases can).

Code: Select all

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:wine/wine-builds
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install --install-recommends winehq-devel

Once installed, you can run this to get it setup:

Code: Select all

$ winecfg

Install anything that it suggests (gecko, mono, etc.).

That's it. You should have most up to date wine. Congrats!!!
Verify it by typing:

Code: Select all

$ wine --version

The response to that query should be whatever version is current for developer edition (as of right now it's 1.9.18).

DO NOT INSTALL WINETRICKS!!!

Enjoy!!!

DO NOT INSTALL WINETRICKS!!!

I think what bush5150 means by this is "do not install the distro winetricks package." Downloading winetricks from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Winet ... winetricks is fine, and preferable to the distro package anyway, as it will be the latest version.

Now it needs avery package to reinstall.
