What is the matter with wine 1.6 in PPA:ubuntu-wine/ppa?

  • 772

I use ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa in 12.04. Today when I update system , it remove my old wine 1.5, but 1.6 can not be installed.

What about you ? Thanks

Edit: I use 'apt-get dist-upgrade' to update system.

Now I first remove wine 1.5 and install wine 1.6 .

    stemberk's post in ubuntuforums.org has a solution for those who attempted the installation:

    sudo apt-get -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-overwrite" -f install

    This command will force the failed installation of wine to resume, with ignoring any conflicts. According to launchpad.net the bugfix is underway. Hopefully they fix it soon...

    EDIT: It appears that the fixed package is released, but if you already installed wine1.6 using any workarounds, I'll recommend you to uninstall wine at least once (sudo apt-get remove wine1.6) then install it nomally (sudo apt-get install wine1.6), otherwise any further attempts to upgrade wine will fail.

  2. I ran into the same issue : /usr/bin/wine64 and /usr/bin/wine64-preloader are in both wine1.6 and wine1.6-amd64 packages.

    As a (hopefully) temporary workaround I've issued the following commands:

    sudo dpkg-divert --package wine1.6-amd64 --add /usr/bin/wine64
sudo dpkg-divert --package wine1.6-amd64 --add /usr/bin/wine64-preloader

    This instructs dpkg to move aside every version of those files, except the one from the wine1.6-amd64 package.
