Install wine in Ubuntu 22.04

Hi,

I'am trying to install Wine in Ubuntu 22.04 (KDE Neon user edition in this case), with winehq repos (deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu jammy main) but:

sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-staging

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

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
winehq-staging : Depends: wine-staging (= 7.19~jammy-1)
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Any ideas how to solve this dependencies problem?

Thanks in advance.

Check if there are old packages installed

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

Hi,

seems to be 'neon-related' for I have the same issue on two 'neon-machines' (build 10/23/22). Nevertheless Wine 7.20 installs perfectly under 'ubuntu-studio' with KDE (checked it today). As far I can say neon/wine has a dependency problem with 'libpoppler-glib8:i386' and 'libsane(1):i386'.

Unfortunately, I haven't found a solution yet...

A minor update: Do you have 'gir1.2-poppler-0.18' and 'pdfarranger' installed? These packages seem to conflict with 'libpoppler-glib8:i386'...

Indeed, the KDE Neon repository is not fully multiarch. Perhaps you can install the Ubuntu version of libpoppler-glib8.

Code: Select all

# See which version is available for both architectures
apt policy libpoppler-glib8 libpoppler-glib8:i386

# Install the version with (for example)
sudo apt install libpoppler-glib8=22.02.0-2ubuntu0.1 libpoppler-glib8:i386=22.02.0-2ubuntu0.1

You may also need to downgrade the packages that depend on libpoppler-glib8 to the Ubuntu version.

(I do not have the 'gir1.2-poppler-0.18' and 'pdfarranger' packages installed.)
