Package: wine
Version: 5.0.3-3
Hi, I was trying to run a 32-bit windows executable using wine (which
via /etc/alternatives is set to be wine-stable). This is what it looked
like:
$ file aes-test.exe
aes-test.exe: PE32 executable (console) Intel 80386, for MS Windows
$ wine aes-test.exe
it looks like wine32 is missing, you should install it.
multiarch needs to be enabled first. as root, please
execute "dpkg --add-architecture i386 && apt-get update &&
apt-get install wine32"
So error message is rather clear; wine32 is missing and I have to install
it. However, when following the above instructions, apt-get wants to
install armhf packages. This is what I get from the install command:
# apt-get install wine32
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done

The following additional packages will be installed:
glib-networking:armhf gstreamer1.0-plugins-base:armhf
gstreamer1.0-plugins-good:armhf
gstreamer1.0-x:armhf libaa1:armhf libaom0:armhf libasound2:armhf
libasound2-plugins:armhf
libasyncns0:armhf libavahi-client3:armhf libavahi-common-data:armhf
libavahi-common3:armhf
libavc1394-0:armhf libavcodec58:armhf libavresample4:armhf libavutil56:armhf
libblkid1:armhf libbrotli1:armhf libbsd0:armhf libbz2-1.0:armhf
libcaca0:armhf
libcairo-gobject2:armhf libcairo2:armhf libcap2:armhf libcapi20-3:armhf
...
That doesn't seem right. My foreign architectures are
# dpkg --print-foreign-architectures
armhf
arm64
ppc64el
s390x
i386
If I instead use
# apt-get install wine32:i386
then I do get i386 packages, as I expected, including a working wine32.
Not clear to me if apt-get is doing something unexpected, or when the
existing wine32:armhf package is useful. But anyway, when wine fails to
run a 32-bit (i386) windows executable, due to missing wine32, I'd
suggest that the instructions it displays should be updated to say
"apt-get install wine32:i386".
