Strange message when trying to install Wine in Ubuntu 14.04

[williepabon]

Hi:
I recently installed Ubuntu 14.04 (64bit) on my Mac mini (dual boot) without any problems. I wanted to install Wine to be able to run some Windows programs, but, while going through the installation I got the following message:

To install Wine Windows Program Loader, these items need to be removed:
Nvidia opencl driver and icd loader library
nvidia-lib opencl1-331

My Mac mini has a video card Nvidia GE Force 320M which requires Nvidia driver 331.38, which means that following the above message would be problematic with my setup. I did not install Wine, but I need it. Is there a way to resolve this conflict? Thanks.

Ask your distro. That's a packaging/package manager issue, not a Wine issue.

At least the original poster looked before he leapt. I noticed the same warning yesterday, but assumed that something else would be installed in place of the nVidia binary. Nope. My HDMI sound went away. Now I'm trying to fix that.

Thanks for at least pointing me in the right direction.
