Debian 12 install question

[sunscorcher]

Hello,

I followed the instructions on the wiki here https://wiki.winehq.org/Debian

I added the bookworm sources, the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq-bookworm.sources is:

Code: Select all

Types: deb
URIs: https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/debian
Suites: bookworm
Components: main
Architectures: amd64 i386
Signed-By: /etc/apt/keyrings/winehq-archive.key

As a sanity check, the output of cat /etc/os-release is:

Code: Select all

root@jeremy-deb12:/etc/apt/sources.list.d# cat /etc/os-release
PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)"
NAME="Debian GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="12"
VERSION="12 (bookworm)"
VERSION_CODENAME=bookworm
ID=debian
HOME_URL="https://www.debian.org/"
SUPPORT_URL="https://www.debian.org/support"
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.debian.org/"

Then,

sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-stable gives the message

Code: Select all

root@jeremy-deb12:/# apt install --install-recommends winehq-stable

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 winehq-stable : Depends: wine-stable (= 8.0.2~bookworm-1)
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I did not see a step to install wine-stable, is this needed? When I try to install wine-stable, I then see:

Do you have any advice?

Thanks

Okay, I installed Wine by using the debian wiki instead.

Although "/etc/os-release" shows that you are using Bookworm, the output of "apt" shows that packages from Trixie (Debian Testing) are being installed.
Either upgrade the whole system to Trixie or remove references to Trixie from the /etc/apt/sources.list(.d) files.

Thank you. I removed a reference to "unstable" in etc/apt/sources.list that I put in during installation of Steam. I think this is the only reference to the unstable version. Now when I try to install wine32 I see

Code: Select all

jeremy@jeremy-deb12:/home$ sudo apt-get install wine32:i386

Do I need to remove packages that were installed while I had the unstable reference in /etc/apt/sources.list? The messages are honestly unclear to me.

[jkfloris]

There are probably packages from unstable still installed on your system. You will have to downgrade these packages to the stable version.

Code: Select all

sudo apt install libdw1:{amd64,i386}=0.188-2.1 libelf1:{amd64,i386}=0.188-2.1

[sunscorcher]

That worked perfectly. Thank you for all your help
