Installing v6.15 on Ubuntu (20.04)

Post by rcarballo »

We have a commercial application that ran fine with wine-staging v6.15. Several of our older VMs are running that version. Newer VMs are now running v6.16 and the application crashes on those VMs.

How can we force the installation of v6.15 on Ubuntu 20.04? We use the staging branch for our installer. Thank you in advance.

I'm not sure how you can force installation of v6.15 on Ubuntu, but if your application has been broken by 6.16, it might be worth submitting a bug report?

Use apt install <package name>=<version number>
So that will be:

Code: Select all

sudo apt install winehq-staging=6.15~focal-1 wine-staging=6.15~focal-1 wine-staging-amd64=6.15~focal-1 wine-staging-i386:i386=6.15~focal-1
And indeed, don't forget to make a bug report.
