installing a specific wine version

[paleozogt]

While I am able to install latest wine successfully:

Code: Select all

apt-get install -y winehq-stable

I'd like to be able to pin the version in my setup scripts. For example, this used to work:

Code: Select all

apt-get install -y winehq-stable=4.0~xenial

but recently it stopped working with

Code: Select all

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 winehq-stable : Depends: wine-stable (= 4.0~xenial)

While I can update my pin to 4.0.2, I think it will just break again when the next version comes out.

The other versions seem to be available, although none of them work except the latest:

Code: Select all

apt-cache madison winehq-stable
winehq-stable | 4.0.2~xenial | https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu xenial/main amd64 Packages
winehq-stable | 4.0.1~xenial | https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu xenial/main amd64 Packages
winehq-stable | 4.0~xenial | https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu xenial/main amd64 Packages
...

Is this really broken? Or am I doing something wrong?

You should just need to specify all the wine packages to install, there are three others winehq-stable depends on.

Code: Select all

apt-get install -y winehq-stable=4.0~xenial wine-stable=4.0~xenial wine-stable-amd64=4.0~xenial wine-stable-i386=4.0~xenial

If you're trying to pin the wine version you may need to pin all four as well.

That works! Thanks.

Hello,
very newbie with Ubuntu and Wine, I need to install a specific version of Wine and after hours of research I need to admit that I'm stuck...
I would like to install Wine-staging 4.21 for Ubuntu 19-10 Eoan.
What are the steps to achieve that ?
Thanks !

If you've already done the initial steps here: https://wiki.winehq.org/Ubuntu

...then this should get you 4.21 staging:

Code: Select all

apt install winehq-staging=4.21~eoan wine-staging=4.21~eoan wine-staging-amd64=4.21~eoan wine-staging-i386=4.21~eoan

You'll probably want to hold or pin the packages otherwise the latest wine-staging will be installed when you do an 'apt upgrade'. If something worked in 4.21 and isn't working in the current version (5.5) though you should file a bug.

Thanks, I've made it !
And as suggested by someone on the Cycling'74 forums :

Max behaviour when typing is ok with Wine-staging 4.21, but buggy with last versions...
