Re: Can't install wine-stable on devuan 5, dependency hell

Well, looked at the list of available packages at devuan.org. When I read that list correctly, wine-stable only exists in the jessie repo. Looking at the Debian SW repo, its also missing in bookworm.

On my PC running Daedalus I get:

# apt list wine*
Auflistung… Fertig
wine-binfmt/stable,stable 8.0~repack-4 all
wine32-preloader/stable 8.0~repack-4 i386
wine32-tools/stable 8.0~repack-4 i386
wine32/stable 8.0~repack-4 i386
wine64-preloader/stable 8.0~repack-4 amd64
wine64-tools/stable 8.0~repack-4 amd64
wine64/stable 8.0~repack-4 amd64
wine/stable,stable 8.0~repack-4 all
winetricks/stable,stable 20230212-2 all
# apt list wine-stable
Auflistung… Fertig

Don't know from where you got that package, its not from Daedalus. I you want to install wine, use wine or wine64. You may need to add i386 as architecture first to be able to run also 32bit software.

If your system is 64 bit, enable 32 bit architecture (if you haven't already):

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386

Add the repository

Download and add the repository key:

sudo mkdir -pm755 /etc/apt/keyrings

sudo wget -O /etc/apt/keyrings/winehq-archive.key https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key
	
sudo wget -NP /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/debian/dists/bookworm/winehq-bookworm.sources

sudo apt update

Stable branch     

sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-stable

After install run

winecfg

to install wine mono then run

wine iexplore

to get wine gecko

It's the winehq version of wine for debian. I had wine installed already but devuan's wine has problems. Doesn't work properly. So I install winehq version.
