Cannot install wine32 on Kubuntu 20.04

Post by lascetic »

Hi very new in linux, just been using it the last couple of weeks. I think I may have messed up something. Anyway, I have tried using the instruction here for adding repo and installing wine. This probably messed up my library. I suppose there was some leftover of wine left from previous installation via Software Diskover. I have tried unistalling, purge, reinstalling but I get a lot of unmet dependencies that cannot be installed, as one requires another ad infinitum. I tried several suggestions found on the internet, but as I am very new to this, I may be messing it more.
Here some terminal results when trying to install mp3tag.exe via wine. Please advise.

laptop@laptop-K55VD:~/Downloads$ wine mp3tagv286setup.exe
it looks like wine32 is missing, you should install it.
as root, please execute "apt-get install wine32"

I got some help from kubuntu forums and it seems it's working fine now. Just for the record, I had added a ppa repo and I probably updated to some library versions that were conflicting with the installation of wine. I purged that repo and the versions went back to the ones on the default repos and then I was able to install wine and mp3tag which seems to work fine.

It's good you fixed it. For good measure, running "sudo apt-get install --fix-broken" will usually remove all conflicting packages to bring you back to an unbroken state, after which you can start again.
