Wine installation error

Post by shag00 »

I am using Kubuntu 18.04 and attempted to install wine using the directions at https://wiki.winehq.org/Ubuntu.

Following are the lines which indicate a problem:

Code: Select all

Setting up tixati (2.58-1) ...
/var/lib/dpkg/info/tixati.postinst: line 5: gconftool-2: command not found
/var/lib/dpkg/info/tixati.postinst: line 6: gconftool-2: command not found
/var/lib/dpkg/info/tixati.postinst: line 7: gconftool-2: command not found
/var/lib/dpkg/info/tixati.postinst: line 9: gconftool-2: command not found
/var/lib/dpkg/info/tixati.postinst: line 10: gconftool-2: command not found
/var/lib/dpkg/info/tixati.postinst: line 11: gconftool-2: command not found
dpkg: error processing package tixati (--configure):
 installed tixati package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 127
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Errors were encountered while processing:
 tixati
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Now to clarify Tixati was an existing installed program so I am at a loss to understand why Wine is doing anything with it at all.

Would anyone care to lift the veil of ignorance. Should this be considered a fatal error and Wine should not be used?

Solved the problem, there was a missing dependency in the tixati deb file: libgconf2-dev. Once installed everything works fine.
