Installing Wine on Ubuntu 8.04

[Rafal07BC]

I am trying install wine 1.0 on Ubuntu 8.04.

I have fallowed instruction on this site:
http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb

But now when I try to install wine 1.0 i get dependency error:

Code: Select all

wine:
 Depends: libldap2 (>=2.1.17-1) but it is not installable

There is no libldap2 for Hardy Heron. There is libldap-2.4-2 and I have it installed.

How can I resolve this problem?

I too have an Ubunru 8.04 derivate but I have sucessfully installed Wine 1.0. My install uses libldap-2.4.2 and that is what the dependencies tell me it needs.

Which Ubuntu deriviate do you have (I have Kubuntu, Mythbuntu and Xubuntu but not plain Ubuntu) ?

Which package manager are you using ? (adept, synaptic, plain apt ?).

First try the

sudo apt-get update

step again - past the command into a console window and try installing wine again. Check that it is trying to install Wine 1.0 and not the older 0.9.59 from the Ubuntu repositories.

If that still fails, report back with the output of

ls -lR /etc/apt

and

cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list

I have Xubuntu.

I use apt-get or synaptic.

I have made update and tried to install wine using apt-get this time, still the same error.

Thanks for your help.

Hmm ... it seems you are trying to install the Debain package, not the Ubunutu package.

In /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list you have:

Code: Select all

deb http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt etch main #WineHQ - Debian 4.0 "Etch"
deb-src http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt etch main #WineHQ - Debian 4.0 "Etch" 

while I have

Code: Select all

deb http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt hardy main #WineHQ - Ubuntu 8.04 "Hardy Heron"
#deb-src http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt hardy main #WineHQ - Ubuntu 8.04 "Hardy Heron"

I suspect you didn't find the instructions on http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb clear enough.

I guess you followed:

For Debian Etch (4.0):
sudo wget http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/sou ... /etch.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list

when you need to follow:

For Ubuntu Hardy (8.04):
sudo wget http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/sou ... hardy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list

Copy/paste mistakes are easily made.

Try the 'right' sudo wget command again and see if your Wine install works now.

Wow what a stupid mistake to make. Thank you very much, it works now.
