On 64bit linux, is possible to avoid i386 lib installation?

[flyingosprey]

A newbie question:

I only need run 64bit exe. Question: on 64bit Linux, is possible to avoid i386 lib installation?

On Ubuntu 22, "sudo apt install wine" prompted:

which request 1.6 GB space. It even installs gcc 32 bit. So is it possible to avoid? Thanks.

Just a fellow user here. A 64 bit only build is definitely possible as a linux system can be pure 64 bit with no support for 32 bit programs. But you are dependent upon what packages debian supplies if you want to install via apt. I would imagine they would have a pure 64 package. It might be differentiated by the name wine64, but that is only a guess. Obviously, you couldn't run 32 bit programs. Either way, someone will come along who knows. Good luck.

@invisible kid
You are absolutely right.

@flyingosprey
It looks like you also have the 32-bit repository enabled. You can turn this off with:

Code: Select all

sudo dpkg --remove-architecture i386

After this, you can install Wine with:

Code: Select all

sudo apt install wine

If removing the 32-bit repository fails, you already have 32-bit packages installed.
You can remove them with:

Code: Select all

sudo apt --allow-remove-essential purge $(dpkg -l | grep \:i386 | awk '{print $2}')

Read carefully which packages will be removed before you continue!
