Trouble installing Wine on Debian 12.10

Post by evanscott815 »

Hello,
When I try to install Wine:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install wine1.5
I get the following message:

Code: Select all

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
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
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 wine1.5 : Depends: wine1.5-i386 (= 1.5.17-0ubuntu4) but it is not installable
           Recommends: gnome-exe-thumbnailer but it is not going to be installed or
                       kde-runtime but it is not going to be installed
           Recommends: ttf-droid
           Recommends: ttf-mscorefonts-installer but it is not going to be installed
           Recommends: ttf-umefont but it is not going to be installed
           Recommends: ttf-unfonts-core but it is not going to be installed
           Recommends: winbind but it is not going to be installed
           Recommends: winetricks but it is not going to be installed
Does anybody have any idea what is going on and how to fix it?
Thanks!

Packages are maintained by the distros; ask for help on your distro's support forum. Your distro, btw, seems to be Ubuntu, not Debian. (And if it is Debian, you shouldn't be trying to install the Ubuntu packages.)
