Trying to install wine on 18.04 is a real struggle

[loah]

So, I've download both the amd64 and i386 libfaudio0 packages. However, trying to install as described here: https://wiki.winehq.org/Ubuntu, returns this error:

Code: Select all

Odd number of elements in hash assignment at /usr/share/pkg-config-dpkghook line 30.

So I looked at line 30 of pkg-config-dpkghook and it looks like this:

my %gnutriplets = map { debarch_to_gnutriplet($_) => 1 } @architectures;

Firstly, is this a wine problem or my OS?

I've never seen that error before, but googling it turns up a known bug in dpkg that was fixed in Debian in 2019. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrepo ... bug=848706

I don't know if the fix was backported to Ubuntu 18.04; check for updates to dpkg.
