Glen Pitt-Pladdy :: BlogInstalling Wine in Ubuntu 12.04(Precise) / Mint 13 (Maya) | |||
Those using 64-bit (who isn't these days) would have run into trouble trying to get wine installed in this environment on Precise/Maya and it ends up wanting to remove a stack of important stuff. There has been much discussed about this on forums and nobody seems to have a clean answer, so I had a go myself. The problemWhen wine is installed it depends on wine1.4-amd64 which in turn depends on the 32-bit (wine1.4-i386). That's where things start getting messy:
The workaroundIn order to install wine it has to be installed without the gettext:i386 recommends which can't be done directly. Start by installing wine without recommends: # apt-get --no-install-recommends install wine That gets a basic wine install in. Next fire up a package manager of some sort (I use aptitude):
After installing that your wine should be working. |
