this happens on devuan beowulf for all 3 options (stable, developemnet or staging).
dont know if this applies to devuan beowulf in general, as i have upgraded from jessie probably up to beowulf, and in the process maybe used once or twice also the "deb-multimedia" repository.

Hi Kapqa, you may need to remove any packages from "deb-multimedia" repository. Fix the install and then if you really have too, re-install the multimedia packages.

In Chimaera Wine 5.0 (and 6.0 from winehq) complained about unmet deps: libcurl4 and libldap-2.4-2 even though they were the correct versions required! I had to somewhat manually install wine32 first, then wine64 and lastly the wine metapackage and that removed some installed packages like mpv and flowblade for no reason I could discern. After putting everything back Wine works.

Thanks for getting back.
I'll go a little slower this time, dot my i's and cross my tee's.

Sometimes I can be a little dense.

You install their packages just as if you would on Debian. Go to this page and carefully follow the instructions. The only two repositories available are Buster (Beowulf) and Bullseye (Chimaera). Select the one that's analogous to your distro version. Note that you'll need the package libfaudio0 first (if your repository doesn't have it, get it from here).

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386

wget -nc https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key
sudo apt-key add winehq.key

Add either of these to your /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/debian/ buster main
deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/debian/ bullseye main

You have to choose one of the three WineHQ branches. You'll want the stable branch just to be safe, but here are your options:

sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-stable
sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-devel
sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-staging

If you run into any dependency faults, install them again and remove whatever might be conflicting with the installs.

Don't the instructions at https://wiki.winehq.org/Debian work for you?

I suppose, for a 64-bit Devuan beowulf, you will also need the prior

# dpkg --add-architecture i386

so as to enable "multiarch support".

Thereafter it's the usual 3 steps: download and add their key, add their "buster" repository sources.list point and update, and then install their package(s). (Though contrary to those instructions, I would always use --no-install-recommends for installing)

Is there a logical (ie: step by step) way to get winehq running in Devuan?

I've gone through several posts but seem to hit "roadblocks" along the way. Most are fairly old for the computer world (ie: dependencies mentioned but no where to found when following the directions).

It was fairly simple to do in Slackware, because of the excellent documentation.

Thanks
