Keeping on the gaming theme, I have a question Many months ago, I installed playonlinux, and the wine64-unstable libs in order to play Starcraft II. Well I haven't played it in a longish while, apparently since before multiarch. So I fired up playonlinux, tried to run Starcraft, and got the following popup from playonlinux:
This is the wine64-bin helper package, which does not provide wine itself, but instead exists solely to provide the following information about enabling multiarch on your system in order to be able to install and run the 32-bit wine packages. The following commands should be issued as root or via sudo in order to enable multiarch (the last command installs 32-bit wine): # dpkg --add-architecture i386 # apt-get update # apt-get install wine-bin:i386 Be very careful as spaces matter above. Note that this package (wine64-bin) will be removed in the process. For more information on the multiarch conversion, see: http://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch/HOWTO However, when I tried to install wine-bin:i386, apt tells me: Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: wine-bin:i386 : Depends: libwine-bin:i386 (= 1.4.1-4) but it is not going to be installed and apt-cache search for it indeed comes up empty. However, searching on the unstable page on packages.d.o, I see both libwine-bin and libwine-bin-unstable, and what's more, they are only for i386, kfreebsd-i386 and powerpc. should I just apt-get install wine-bin (or wine-bin-unstable), or did I miss something with the architectures? (dpkg --print-architectures says amd64, and dpkg --print-foreign-architectures says i386).
