I have now installed Wine again and it still depends on wine1.4-dev. But the package wine1.4_1.4~rc5-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb doesn't contain a wine or wine1.4 executable. Trying to install wine1.4-i386 gives out of the box still an error message:

I have accepted this and all packages were installed with no problems (except that apt has declared these packages for autoremoving (maybe because wine1.4-i386 isn't "really" successfull installed)). After this I have tried to install wine-i386 again but I got the same dependency problem as above. I have forced the installation of wine1.4-i386 again but apt-get install -f wants to remove it again (at least dpkg doesn't claim now anymore about the other dependency problems that where listed with the first dpkg installation that I have forced): sworddragon@ubuntu:~/data$ sudo dpkg --force-all -i wine1.4-i386_1.4~rc5-0ubuntu1_i386.deb Selecting previously unselected package wine1.4-i386:i386.

Do you want to continue [Y/n]? n Abort. As a short summary: If I force the installation of wine-i386 and installing the :i386 packages that apt-get install -f wants to install I'm able to start 32 bit applications with wine. The only unsolved dependencies are: The following packages have unmet dependencies: wine1.4-i386:i386 : Depends: libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 but it is not going to be installed or libgl1:i386 Depends: libglu1-mesa:i386 but it is not going to be installed or libglu1:i386 I'm even getting a warning if I'm trying to start Guild Wars: Wine cannot find the ncurses library (libncurses.so.5). Maybe this is a result of the dependecy problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/934854 Title: Wine makes on 64 bit systems troubles To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wine1.4/+bug/934854/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
