Wine is now asking for dependency versions that don't exist

[Hffirbi]

I'm trying to download the staging branch of wine, and I'm having a lot of trouble trying to install the dependencies because it's asking for versions that arent even out yet.
One example is Wine asking for libc6 version 2.34. The latest version is (for debian) 2.31-13+deb11u7.
Another is libwayland-client0:i386. it's asking for version 1.20.0 but the latest version out is 1.18. What is going on, and what should i do?

Sounds like you're using bullseye. Bookworm has newer versions of those and other libraries. Are you sure you're downloading wine-staging from the correct repository? The WineHQ packages for bullseye only require libc6 >=2.29 and libwayland >= 1.11.

Now that you say it, I think I did something wrong and might have downloaded the wine packages for the wrong version of debian instead of bullseye. How am I supposed to delete those?

(Partially) installed WineHQ packages can be removed with:

Code: Select all

sudo apt purge winehq-staging wine-staging wine-staging-amd64 wine-staging-i386

That didn't remove the winehq source files.
Also I realized I downloaded the wine sources for trixie instead of bullseye. So how do i remove those packages? (and also how do i remove the packages for the versions below trixie just in case)
