This usually means that the i386 architecture is not enabled. > I looked up wine32 and found that there was a bug report filed and they > were getting the same output as i was.

I followed the > instructions and my output was: > > josh@debian:/var/lib/dpkg$ sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 && apt-get > update && apt-get install wine32 This is actually a series of three commands, with each one run only if the previous one succeeds: $ sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 $ apt-get update $ apt-get install wine32 Since 'apt-get update' and 'apt-get install wine32' require root, but only the dpkg command was run under sudo, the second command fails (and the third doesn't even get run). If you run each command under sudo separately (either one at a time, or all on the same command line), you'll probably see this succeed. -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
