mint 19 can't install wine :(

Hi ,

I'd like to thank you for this platform, i hope i find a solution here, i'm a noob in linux its my first week.

So here is the situation , i made a fresh install of Mint 19 and i installed PlayOnLinux , then i figured out that using WineHQ is better to run a game (world of tanks) , since when i use playonlinux it hangs on installing IE8 and loops forever.

so when i try to install Wine using these commands :

Code: Select all

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 
wget -nc https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/Release.key 
sudo apt-key add Release.key
sudo apt-add-repository https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/
sudo apt-add-repository 'deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ bionic main'
sudo apt update
sudo apt-get install --install-recommends winehq-stable

it shows me this (its in french , means that the package has a problem with the dependencies :

Code: Select all

Les paquets suivants contiennent des dépendances non satisfaites :
 winehq-stable : Dépend: wine-stable (= 3.0.4~cosmic)
E: Impossible de corriger les problèmes, des paquets défectueux sont en mode « garder en l'état ».

thank you for your answers , i dont want to go back to windows just because of gaming.

While what you've posted shows you've added the correct repository for your version of Mint (bionic), your package manager is trying to install a cosmic package, which is wrong. My guess is that at some point you mistakenly added the cosmic repository, so now you have to remove it.

I did not do it but here is what I would try:

- uninstall wine and playonlinux (just to be sure). apt-get remove winehq-stable playonlinux
- go to your "source de logiciels" (in your main menu. My Mint is a French one too. Cinnamon edition ), adjust what's needed (cosmic->bionic) in PPA and/or third-party repositories ("dépôts supplémentaires")
- open a terminal, type in "sudo apt-get update"
- reinstall wine (sudo apt-get install --install-recommends winehq-stable )
- and playonlinux

I do run Linux Mint 19 Cinnamon, in French... with Wine (2.17,3.4, 4.0rc1 right now). Keep hope
