@Daniel Hartig: you are right. Now my system is up again to get more info: lsb_release -a: No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 13.04 Release: 13.04 Codename: raring
uname -a: Linux 3.8.0-19-generic #30-Ubuntu SMP Wed May 1 16:35:23 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux apt-get install wine (version 1.4.1-0ubuntu5) The following packages have unmet dependencies: wine : Depends: wine1.4 but it is not going to be installed apt-get install wine1.4 The following packages have unmet dependencies: wine1.4 : Depends: wine1.4-i386 (= 1.4.1-0ubuntu5) but it is not installable Exact problem: * wine depends on wine1.4 * (not relevant:) wine1.4 (i386 version) only depends on wine1.4-i386 * wine1.4 (amd64 version) depends on both wine1.4-amd64 and wine1.4-i386 * wine1.4-amd64 is available * wine1.4-i386 is only available for i386, but is also needed by wine1.4 (amd64 version) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xdg-utils in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1123710 Title: wine1.4:i386 not installable on raring amd64 Status in “apt” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “fonts-droid” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “fonts-horai-umefont” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “fonts-liberation” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “fonts-unfonts-core” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “gnome-exe-thumbnailer” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “ttf-wqy-microhei” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “winetricks” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “xdg-utils” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “fonts-liberation” package in Debian: New Status in “fonts-unfonts-core” package in Debian: New Status in “ttf-wqy-microhei” package in Debian: New Status in “winetricks” package in Debian: Fix Released Bug description: If a user wants 32-bit only wine, a reasonable way to get it would be to install wine1.4:i386. However, this is not possible on amd64. Currently apt spews this complaint: wine1.4:i386 : Depends: wine1.4-i386:i386 (= 1.4.1-0ubuntu4) Recommends: gnome-exe-thumbnailer:i386 but it is not installable or kde-runtime:i386 but it is not going to be installed Recommends: ttf-droid:i386 but it is not installable Recommends: ttf-liberation:i386 but it is not installable Recommends: ttf-umefont:i386 but it is not installable Recommends: ttf-unfonts-core:i386 but it is not installable Recommends: ttf-wqy-microhei:i386 but it is not installable Recommends: winetricks:i386 but it is not going to be installed Recommends: xdg-utils:i386 but it is not installable gnome-exe-thumbnailer, xdg-utils, and the fonts are arch: all and should be marked multiarch:foreign to indicate that it is ok to install them for the nonnative wine1.4 (they are cross-arch shell scripts). winetricks is currently arch i386 and amd64 and should probably be marked arch: all (especially for upcoming arm wine). apt will then freak out about conflicts and give up. apt-get --no- install-recommends wine1.4:i386, however, will actually complete. I'm not sure this is correct behavior for apt, as in principle it should be able to figure out that it can succeed with the command by omitting recommended packages.
