Failed install of WineHQ debs on SparkyLinux stable

[jjramsey]

SparkyLinux stable is mostly a Debian Bullseye install with some extra packages. However, installing from WineHQ's repos for Debian hasn't worked. If I run

Code: Select all

sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-devel

I get the following error message:

Code: Select all

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 winehq-devel : Depends: wine-devel (= 7.15~bullseye-1)
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

If I try to install `wine-devel` I get this error message:

Code: Select all

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libpoppler102 : Depends: libnss3 (>= 2:3.16) but it is not installable

I've installed libfaudio0, both the amd64 and i386 versions. The amd64 versions of libpoppler102 and libnss3 are already installed, but if I attempt to install the i386 versions of them, apt declares that it will remove a whole bunch of packages, including the amd64 versions of libpoppler102 and libnss3.

The versions of the 64 and 32 packages should be exactly the same.
You can check what versions are available with:

Code: Select all

apt policy libnss3 libnss3:i386

Choose the version that comes with both architectures and install it with:

Code: Select all

# For example, if the version number is 2:3.61-1+deb11u2
sudo apt install libnss3=2:3.61-1+deb11u2 libnss3:i386=2:3.61-1+deb11u2

If you feel like experimenting you can try static-wine32, it solves exactly this problem.

The versions of the 64 and 32 packages should be exactly the same.

Thanks. It turns out that the SparkyLinux ISO had version 2:3.67-2 of the amd64 libnss3 .deb package, but the version available from the Debian Bullseye repos, for both amd64 and i386, was 2:3.61-1+deb11u2. Since the Wine install needed both the amd64 and i386 versions of libnss3, there was a version conflict, as you had gathered. The solution was to downgrade libnss3 to 2:3.61-1+deb11u2.
