Yeah, it looks like that's the issue that we need to troubleshoot. Either that, or you've somehow gotten a version mismatch somewhere in the i386 package stack, and we need to track down where and get it brought back into balance. >> What (if anything) do you get from the following commands? >> >> $ apt-mark showhold > > Nothing.

That's *decidedly* odd. What do you get from $ apt-cache show wine wine32:i386 libwine ? The result is likely to be a bit lengthy; I specifically want to verify the dependencies lines. Based on looking at those dependencies on my own computer, I also want to see what you get from $ apt-cache policy libc6 as a starting point, because that's the only dependency of wine32 except for libwine. If that shows that the version you have installed is compatible with the version listed as required in the wine32 dependencies from the previous command, then I think my next fallback would be to ask for the output of something like apt-cache policy $(apt-cache show libwine | grep Depends | sed 's/[:,] /\n/g' | sed 's/\([^ ]*\) .*$/\1/g' | grep -v Depends | sort -u ) which is kind of ugly and is likely to produce some lengthy output; the idea is to let us check every dependency of libwine to see which one is producing the version mismatch that's leading libwine to not be installed. -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
