Unable to isntall wine 4 on debian stretch

[RaggedRat]

I have followed the instructions on https://wiki.winehq.org/Debian and am getting

Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package winehq-stable

when I execute apt install --install-recommends winehq-stable
The same occurs if I try winehq-devel too.
I am doing this from a terminal as root (via su).

Note I also tried downloading wine-stable-amd64_3.0.5~stretch_amd64.deb directly. The install ran (using gdebi) but wineserver is missing.

deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/debian/ stretch main

That looks correct. Did you run sudo apt update after adding the repository? If you did, then I have no idea why you got the "unable to locate package" message. The winehq-stable packages are definitely in the repository.

[RaggedRat]

Yes, I ran apt update as root. In fact, in a fit of paranoia, in one attempt I cut and pasted the commands from the website to the command line.

Can you post the full output of

Code: Select all

sudo apt update

[RaggedRat]

Had a reinstall of stretch for unrelated reasons.

All other intalls work.

Trying to install wine-stable-i386 gives a whole chain of i386 dependencies. As I am trying to install on an amd64 architecture I am now not sure what is going on. Do I need to install multiarch Debian?

[jkfloris]

If you want to run 32bit Windows applications (almost all Windows installers are 32bit), you must enable multiarch.

Code: Select all

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386

[RaggedRat]

I ran that command on every attempt. The distro I am using is amd64 - should I download and install the multiarch distro instead?

[amera_09]

Download the wine and it's depends and then

Code: Select all

for I in /var/apt/archives/* ;do dpkg -I $I ;done  

Works for me
