Bug Description

I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 dev (amd64) with wine1.4 1.4~rc4-0ubuntu1. On 64 bit installations wine1.4 can't open 32 bit appliactions. I have deleted ~/.wine and started a windows 32 bit application:

sworddragon@ubuntu:/wine/drive_c/Programme/GUILD WARS$ wine64 Gw.exe
wine: created the configuration directory '/home/sworddragon/.wine'
Could not load wine-gecko. HTML rendering will be disabled.
wine: configuration in '/home/sworddragon/.wine' has been updated.

Nothing happened after this. Even if I call the command again there is no output anymore and no wine processes are running. I have deleted ~/.wine again and tried to call wine1.4 with 32 bit compatibility:

sworddragon@ubuntu:/wine/drive_c/Programme/GUILD WARS$ WINEARCH=win32 wine64 Gw.exe
wine: created the configuration directory '/home/sworddragon/.wine'
wine: '/home/sworddragon/.wine' is a 32-bit installation, it cannot support 64-bit applications.

I have figured out that wine1.4 depends on wine1.4-dev but wine1.4-i386 comes before wine1.4-dev in the list of dependencies. I have enabled i386 for multiarch and tried to install wine1.4-i386 but I got some errors:

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

                      libgl1
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.

It seems it is currently not possible to install wine1.4 from the official repository and get 32 bit applications running on 64 bit systems.

Are you sure this isn't due to archive skew? apt-get -f install should try to install the dependent i386 packages, but they must be exactly the same version number as the 64-bit versions on your system.

When someone uploads a new package, say, libglu1-mesa, sometimes the i386 build finishes before the amd64 one, or vice-versa, and you get a situation like you've witnessed.

Can you try again please?

That said, I'm considering just hard-depending wine1.4:amd64 on wine1.4-i386 to avoid situations like the above where you get stuck with 64-bit-only wine entirely. The downside is wine would be uninstallable whenever the archive was skewed (which is often during the development release, but fortunately never in a stable release).

I have now installed Wine again and it still depends on wine1.4-dev. But the package wine1.4_1.4~rc5-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb doesn't contain a wine or wine1.4 executable. Trying to install wine1.4-i386 gives out of the box still an error message:

sudo apt-get install -f does nothing because all dependencies are already met. So I have forced the installation of wine1.4-i386:

I have accepted this and all packages were installed with no problems (except that apt has declared these packages for autoremoving (maybe because wine1.4-i386 isn't "really" successfull installed)). After this I have tried to install wine-i386 again but I got the same dependency problem as above. I have forced the installation of wine1.4-i386 again but apt-get install -f wants to remove it again (at least dpkg doesn't claim now anymore about the other dependency problems that where listed with the first dpkg installation that I have forced):

Abort.

As a short summary: If I force the installation of wine-i386 and installing the :i386 packages that apt-get install -f wants to install I'm able to start 32 bit applications with wine. The only unsolved dependencies are:

I'm even getting a warning if I'm trying to start Guild Wars:

Wine cannot find the ncurses library (libncurses.so.5).

Maybe this is a result of the dependecy problem.

It seems somebody has now updated the packages because all dependencies are now solved correctly. Wine is running fine except that the warning still appears. But I will create a new ticket for this.

which one is the one in use ? - sorry i only saw dependency issues - linked 2 as duplicate !

btw. discovered if i do it the other way around - it is the GNOME package which breaks dependecys with wine1.4
