I am using Linux Mint 20.3 with Wine 7.0. stable.
The last time I ran a cumulative update for Linux Mint, one of them tries to delete the wine-stable and winehq-stable updates.
I am now scared to run any updates.
What should I do?
New Linux Mint updates try to delete Wine
Re: New Linux Mint updates try to delete Wine
Try to figure out which package triggers the removal of winehq-stable.
Or post the output of sudo apt upgrade
Code: Select all
# Download the latest package information
sudo apt update
# Upgrade all packages, but don't remove existing packages
sudo apt upgrade
# Probably you get a message like:
The following packages have been kept back:
package-1 package-2 package-3
# Try installing those one by one until you find the package that wants to remove winehq-stable.

I was able to find the offending file:
Code: Select all
libdeflate
Re: New Linux Mint updates try to delete Wine
A link between the wine-stable and the libdeflate0 packages is via libjpeg62-turbo the libtiff5 package.
Other than wine-stable, do any of these packages come from a repository other than Ubuntu or Mint?

Yes, and this is embarrassing.
Now I know that it's not WineHQ's problem, but mines.
I'm sorry I trouble you, I will go away and not be a bother.
I also contacted the tech helpers from the official Linux Mint forum and the guy lost his mind and went medieval on me.
I found this out after doing a [c]apt-cache policy libdeflate0[/c] and found out that it was from another repository.
Can you forgive me?

No need to apologize. I'm glad you found the cause and the solution!
