re-install old version

[Insam]

Hello
I have a problem with the last 3 versions of wine-staging, I should not have left the deposit open.

Photofiltre studio no longer works properly. it worked with wine-staging 2.21 but I can not find it on the site anymore.
if I install it by the package manager it does not work at all, no application opens. I do not know what's missing, I do not have an error message.

No stable version works at home on MX17.1 (debian stretch)

In the LinuxMint 18.3 system, the best version for Photofiltre is the stable 1.6, but I only find it in ubuntu repositories. xenial

How to install a version from 1.6 to 2. * staging for debian-stretch?

thank you in advance

(I am bad at English and can not navigate pages in this language)

I don't know where you're looking for 2.x staging packages that you can't find them. Packages back to wine-staging 2.4 are available in the WineHQ repository. Packages older than that are not available anywhere that I know of.

Why do you need wine-staging? Photofiltre Studio version 10.13.0 seems to work out of the box with wine-stable 3.0.3

[Insam]

Thank you for your answers, I will look for version 2.4, my concern is as I said to have difficulties to find me in pages in English.

@jkfloris, Photofiltre works for many things even with the latest version (stagin in MX17, stable in Mint 18) but the size of the pages for printing is not done, the redfields fractalus plugins no longer work properly because they crash. application.

While in Mint 18 with stable version 1.6, absolutely everything works (PFS 10.13.0)

Sorry, I clicked the link but I do not know how to find what I am looking for in this page.

Here you can find all the available Wine versions for different Linux flavors.

If you have the WineHQ repo enabled, you should be able to install them with the "apt" command

Code: Select all

sudo apt install winehq-staging=2.4.0-3~<linux-name>
#replace <linux-name> with your distro name. For example Debian stable Stretch: "winehq-staging=2.4.0-3~stretch"

[Insam]

Thank you
Unfortunately the terminal replies that the package does not exist.

Did you add the repository first? https://wiki.winehq.org/Debian

Of course, it is still in the sources-list since I installed my version from there.
I regret to have left it checked, if there had not been these updates I will not be there!

Post the terminal output from apt, including the command you used to try to install the package.

Ok :

I tried to install wine-staging (without the hq) and there are missing dependencies

Certains paquets ne peuvent être installés. Ceci peut signifier
que vous avez demandé l'impossible, ou bien, si vous utilisez
la distribution unstable, que certains paquets n'ont pas encore
été créés ou ne sont pas sortis d'Incoming.
L'information suivante devrait vous aider à résoudre la situation : 

Les paquets suivants contiennent des dépendances non satisfaites :
 wine-staging : Dépend: wine-staging-amd64 (= 2.4.0-3~stretch) mais 3.19.0~stretch devra être installé
                Dépend: wine-staging-i386 (= 2.4.0-3~stretch)
E: Impossible de corriger les problèmes, des paquets défectueux sont en mode « garder en l'état ».

I think I will have no choice but to keep the LinuxMint distro dual-boot just to use Photofiltre properly!

[dimesio]

I played around with this in a VM, and it appears that for old Debian packages you have to manually install each one, in the right order to satisfy dependencies:
wine-staging-i386=<version>
wine-staging-amd64=<version>
wine-staging=<version>
winehq-staging=<version> (this one is optional, only needed if you want the compatibility symlinks)
(substitute the actual version you want for <version>).

AFAICT, the inability to handle multiple versions of a package is a known limitation of Debian-style repositories/package managers.

[Insam]

Thank you for your help but nothing to do, no package exists !

There should not be a space before the = sign.

The package definitely exists: http://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/debian ... h_i386.deb.

[Insam]

...There should not be a space before the = sign...

With or without space, ditto, it does not change anything!
I doubt that the package exists, there is no reason but my terminal can not find it, there must be a manipulation that I did not understand.

That said, no more worries:
I found the solution and the problem disappeared!

I had not thought about trying the development version that I have never used on any distro, always stable or staging so stable does not work!
There must be something different in it because everything is working again in Photofiltre.
Thank you so much for trying to help me out.

I'm glad that the problem is solved!

Maybe something to keep in mind for the future:
You can print all the available versions for your system with

Code: Select all

apt-cache policy winehq-staging
