need help installing new Wine version on Debian Etch

north · Post by **north** » Wed May 28, 2008 8:55 am

I want to install a new version of Wine because the one I installed with apt-get in Debian is quite old and buggy (0.9.25).

So after doing "apt-get uninstall wine", I followed this guide (http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb), to install a newer wine version but encountered a few problems:

1. the guide says

Now you can install Wine by clicking this link. Alternatively, you can install by going to Applications->Add/Remove and searching for Wine.

The link I'm told to click is apt://wine, but doesn't work in Firefox ("Iceweasel doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (apt) isn't associated with any program.) And I don't have a program named "Applications" either.

2. So I tried to manually install with apt-get install wine. But then it gives me this error:

# apt-get install wine
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Suggested packages:
msttcorefonts
The following NEW packages will be installed
wine
0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 2 not upgraded.
12 not fully installed or removed.
Need to get 10.4MB of archives.
After unpacking 54.2MB of additional disk space will be used.

Could anyone help me?

Uninstall all wine related packages in your package manager (at least
libwine is still installed).

From an earlier post, Ove was kind enough to take up the slack for Etch
users, at least temporarily. He has done rc2. His post is at the end of this
one.

First, make sure there is NO trace of Wine installed. Packages have changed.

Second, the repository also works with Synaptic. I did have to fiddle a bit.
And, no, I don't know why. But it does work as listed. Oh, and disable any
listing for "Sarge". I don't know why that is even there.

Third, you "should" be using ALSA and should not need any other sound
driver. Check ALL the modules that are installed to make sure they "fit"
your Etch and hardware installation.

Ove Kaaven to wine-users

Fine, I've rebuilt the official Debian 0.9.61-2 packages on etch.

I put them up at http://people.debian.org/~ovek/wine/, you can apt-get them
by putting this into sources.list:

deb http://people.debian.org/~ovek/wine/ ./

I might not always build these in the future, though.

Worked for me,
Jim

Hmm. Scott (Ritchie), if you insist on putting everything into a single
package, maybe you should add a Conflicts: libwine? It would prevent
problems such as this...

And to the original poster... you could apt-get remove libwine first if
you really want to install those packages. But it seems that they're not
up-to-date, so if you want 1.0-rc2 for etch, you could try
http://people.debian.org/~ovek/wine/README instead of the winehq ones
(that way there's no need to uninstall libwine either).

It's basically the same error as in my first post. I think something with my cache is wrong..

No, you're not, you're still installing the winehq debs. Always run
apt-get update after editing sources.list, otherwise your modifications
will not take effect.

Ok thanks, I'll keep that in mind.
