WineHQ no longer works since a distribution update!

[Crockodile]

Hello, I am a KDE Neon user, and since I upgraded to the latest version of the distribution, my WineHQ no longer works. I tried to reinstall it, but the stable version doesn't seem to exist, and the other branches of WineHQ are impossible to install on my distribution, it puts an incomprehensible error message talking about dependencies and incoming.

I don't know what to do, and it's very annoying, especially since I used to use WineHQ almost every day. Clip Studio Paint, which I used to use via WineHQ, is a real work tool for me, and now I can't draw.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Did you upgrade your system to Ubuntu 22.04?

but the stable version doesn't seem to exist

Wine developers are currently working hard on a new version of Wine Stable. When it is ready, there will be a Wine Stable version for Ubuntu 22.04.

and the other branches of WineHQ are impossible to install on my distribution, it puts an incomprehensible error message talking about dependencies and incoming.

Maybe we can solve this problem. Probably an old package is in the problem, or a package from an unofficial Ubuntu repository.

Code: Select all

# Update the package information
sudo apt update

# Remove all old WineHQ packages
sudo apt remove winehq-stable wine-stable wine-stable-amd64 wine-stable-i386:i386

# Check if there are other old packages installed
LC_ALL=C apt list --installed | grep installed,local
# Remove the old packages if necessary with:
# sudo apt remove <package name>

# Try to install Wine step-by-step
sudo apt install --install-recommends wine-devel-i386:i386
sudo apt install --install-recommends wine-devel-amd64
sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-devel

If a step fails, please post the full output and the output of

Code: Select all

apt-cache policy

Good evening, in the meantime a friend has tried to help me with this, including the method of removing all traces of Wine and reinstalling Wine via the development branch. After many unsuccessful attempts, I finally gave up in favour of a KDE neon / Windows 10 dual-boot.

Thanks anyway.

It might still be worth a shot. If you do end up trying it, please update.
