[Solved] Wine32 Installation - error

[darek015]

Hello everyone,

This is my first post on this forum, thank you in advance for your help.
I need help with the installation of wine32, I tried the method from Debian Wiki and WineHQ, both proved unsuccessful and ended with the error below, I’ll add that Wine64 works without any problem.

After typing the command:

Code: Select all

 sudo apt install wine32 

Error

Code: Select all

Hello,
According to Debian Wiki [1]:

Attention!

This procedure works only if the following requirements are met:

1 - Packages migrated to new versions (stable-security) that modify the C libraries have not been installed.

2 - No packages from deb-multimedia have been installed.

Otherwise, dependency non-compliance issues will occur.

I don’t know if it is the cause, but according to the apt configuration you sent in previous post, the stable-security repository is configured (and its packages perhaps installed):

Code: Select all

deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security bookworm-security main non-free->

[1] Debian Wiki - Wine

[darek015]

My system is a new installation, the system was installed using an iso image downloaded from the official Debian site.

Is there any possibility to install wine32 in this case.

[bin]

Code: Select all

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt update
sudo apt install wine wine32 fonts-wine

This will give you a 32 bit wine system.

When creating a prefix

Code: Select all

WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFX=path to where you put your prefix

[darek015]

Thank you for your reply, however, as I mentioned I have wine installed according to the Debian Wiki materials, below are the command results for the system architecture:

Code: Select all

$ sudo dpkg --print-architecture
amd64

Code: Select all

$ sudo sudo dpkg --print-foreign-architectures
i386

When I try to install wine32, the following message appears, I am a novice user, but I suspect it is because apt does not want to install the libraries for the 32 version of wine.

Code: Select all

$ sudo apt install wine wine32 fonts-wine

I also don't understand the part about adding the prefix, but I assume this part should be added after installing the wine32 version.

[arzgi]

You have to use the i386 postix, like

Code: Select all

sudo apt install wine:i386

and after installing foreign architecture,the package list should be updated

Code: Select all

sudo apt update

[darek015]

I confirm, after installing the foreign architecture, the list of packages was updated (several times).

I checked the proposed method, below is the result of the command:

Code: Select all

$ sudo apt install wine:i386

Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
Note, selecting 'wine' instead of 'wine:i386'
wine is already the newest version (8.0~repack-4).

I also tried:

Code: Select all

Those aren't from bookworms repo, It looks like you installed/upgraded from the sid repo which is why apt cannot resolve dependencies.

[darek015]

Packages from the sid repos may have been installed/updated during the installation of Nvidia drivers (525.147.05)

Is there any option to undo this change at this point?

[Ardouos]

libc6 is a core package which can make downgrading very troublesome, it would save a headache to just re-install and use the backports repo to install the nvidia driver using bookworm-backports.

If you want to give it a go you would need to see what packages were installed from the install/upgrade and downgrade them manually. The tool apititude might be your best bet here as it can try to find the best was around your dependency problems.

[darek015]

Thank you for your help, and guidance in solving the problem.

I installed wine32, using the Sid repositories. It may not be an entirely satisfactory solution, but it works.

Off topic:
I disabled the Sid repo again. I wonder if there will be further problems when installing other software or Debian 12.3 (without Sid repo).
I will test a bit more and see what happens next.

Thanks again and best regards.

[Ardouos]

I will assure you there will be future problems. I would recommend either reinstalling stable or committing to the full upgrade to sid (if you are up to it) instead of using a frankendebian system.

[CwF]

I disabled the Sid repo again. I wonder if there will be further problems when installing other software or Debian 12.3 (without Sid repo).

Possibly, possibly not. It is a good idea to disable sid from here on out. If you didn't get much, or at all into the rest of the system with sid contamination then mostly you will be upgrading stable and the wine/sid portion will be stagnant. The system will likely not break, wine may. You may need to bring in individual packages with a care. Possible, you have lost the oversight provided by 'stable' or 'sid', the oversight is yours.

As I mentioned earlier for the moment I'll leave the system in its current state as a frankendebian system, as a test and see what happens next with it. However, after testing and checking the features that may be useful, a fresh version of Debian will be installed and this invention will be left as a sandbox.

Thanks again for your suggestions.
