Linux Mint 21.1 can't install wine-staging

[Codesound]

FRESH LINUX MINT 21.1 Vera, Cinnamom_x64
Hi all,

I use this code to install wine-staging:

Code: Select all

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 
sudo wget -O /etc/apt/keyrings/winehq-archive.key https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key
sudo wget -NP /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/dists/jammy/winehq-jammy.sources
sudo apt update
sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-staging

but it does not work:

Code: Select all

codesound@codesound:~$ sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-staging
[sudo] password for codesound:

Hi,

I apologize if I answer only now and also because I indicated clean system when it was not.

Pipeireire and csound had been installed. It seems that when compiling csound, some dependencies conflict with wine. It would be to be seen how to solve

https://packages.ubuntu.com/jammy/csound
https://github.com/csound/plugins

Now the system is clean and installed correctly.
Thank you so much for your attention


let me ask a question

when I install winetricks, using these commands

Code: Select all

sudo apt install winetricks
sudo winetricks --self-update 

the output from the terminal is

Code: Select all

codesound@codesound:~$ sudo winetricks --self-update

The output of winetricks --self-update looks good.
The message tells you that you are no longer using the Debian (= Linux Mint) version, but the upstream variant.
Should Debian release a new version of winetricks, it will overwrite the manually installed version. So pay attention to whether an apt update updates winetricks package.
