Update to Wine 4.0 on Mint

[FinixFighter]

Hi all! Wine 4.0 has been released on january 22 but I didn't receive the update yet. I use Linux Mint 19.1 and I always received updates the day after the release (less or more) and I always used the Update manager. I had already changed the repository key (in fact I received the 4.0-rc7 release and privious..). Is this a problem or is it a normal procedure when there is a new version of wine?

I gather you are trying to update either wine-devel or wine-staging. The 4.0 packages are there; the problem is that your package manager thinks 4.0-rc7 is newer because of the "rc7" in the version, so it only shows you that.

Your options are to either install the winehq-stable 4.0 package or force your package manager to install wine-devel or wine-staging 4.0 by specifying the version, e.g.,

Code: Select all

sudo apt install wine-devel-i386=4.0~bionic
sudo apt install wine-devel=4.0~bionic
sudo apt install wine-devel-amd64=4.0~bionic
sudo apt install winehq-devel=4.0~bionic

Once 4.1 is released this will no longer be a problem (until next year).
