I can not install wine in version 18.04 of ubuntu

Post by xXShadicXx11 »

Hello everyone, those who are reading this topic, I come to ask for help in this forum, because when installing wine in Peppermint 9 I get the following error even following all the steps if someone could guide me.

Code: Select all

sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-stable
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 winehq-stable : Depends: wine-stable (= 3.0.4~cosmic)
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
These are the steps I followed before wanting to install wine, according to this source.

https://wiki.winehq.org/Ubuntu

1: sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
2: wget -nc https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key
3: sudo apt-key add winehq.key
4: sudo apt-add-repository 'deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ bionic main'
5: sudo apt update
6: sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-stable

So that's it, I still do not understand what I'm doing wrong. :roll:

To track down dependency issues, you need to work your way back. Try installing wine-stable rather than winehq-stable, see what your package manager says is preventing the installation, and try installing that. If that doesn't install, try installing whatever is blocking that. Keep going until you find the problem.

:D Hello, thanks for answering. I did what you said and unfortunately got the following results, I have to clarify that all this took me step by step to each of the following dependencies. Therefore I do not know how I can solve it, since speaking from the ignorance, for what little I can understand on the subject I see that the problem may be in the distribution or the lack of necessary packages or perhaps the repositories of ubuntu 18.04. I repeat and clarify that I am speaking from my ignorance. Thank you very much to all, i wait for your answers.

Somehow you must have added the cosmic repository, and that's the package your package manager is trying to install. You need to delete the cosmic repository from your /etc/apt/sources.list (or /etc/apt/sources.list.d).

Hello, thanks for answering again. I have noticed the file /etc/apt/sources.list and it has thrown me the following results:

From what I see there is no repository that mentions the cosmic repository. I think this has no solution for what I see. :?

Wrong. Ubuntu 18.10 is cosmic. You need to delete this one:

Interesting. I may have done this too as I've been having the same kind of problems in Ubuntu 18.04.1 Now how do I go about deleting the bad file or wrong file that could be messing with things. Apologies to all I'm a newbie.

Open /etc/apt/sources.list in a text editor and delete any items that say "cosmic" and/or "18.10."

You have to specify which Application you want to start at first. This would be "nano" for example. After specifying the Application, it need to know what to do.
So we put the path to the File we want to edit after the application-name.


sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list


as we are in the "etc" folder, we need sudo-superuser rights to edit the file.


After editing save the file with CTRL+O and close nano with CTRL+X. :-)
