Installation issues with Wine 1.9 on Debian wheezy

Post by okroener »

Hello WineHQ team forum members,

I tried to install wine on my Debian wheezy using the docs from: http://wiki.winehq.org/Debian

I struggled a bit with that, because of missing dependencies.

Later I found out, that the trick was to add the following line to /etc/apt/sources.list :

deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ oldstable main

May be someone can add this hint to the docs on the website in order to help others who have installation issues as well?

With best regards,

Oliver

Thank you! We've had several Debian users report dependency problems, and I didn't know what to tell them.

I've added the info to the wiki page.
