Public bug reported: I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 dev (amd64) with wine1.4 1.4~rc4-0ubuntu1. On 64 bit installations wine1.4 can't open 32 bit appliactions. I have deleted ~/.wine and started a windows 32 bit application:
sworddragon@ubuntu:/wine/drive_c/Programme/GUILD WARS$ wine64 Gw.exe wine: created the configuration directory '/home/sworddragon/.wine' Could not load wine-gecko. HTML rendering will be disabled. wine: configuration in '/home/sworddragon/.wine' has been updated. Nothing happened after this. Even if I call the command again there is no output anymore and no wine processes are running. I have deleted ~/.wine again and tried to call wine1.4 with 32 bit compatibility: sworddragon@ubuntu:/wine/drive_c/Programme/GUILD WARS$ WINEARCH=win32 wine64 Gw.exe wine: created the configuration directory '/home/sworddragon/.wine' wine: '/home/sworddragon/.wine' is a 32-bit installation, it cannot support 64-bit applications. I have figured out that wine1.4 depends on wine1.4-dev but wine1.4-i386 comes before wine1.4-dev in the list of dependencies. I have enabled i386 for multiarch and tried to install wine1.4-i386 but I got some errors: sworddragon@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install wine1.4-i386 Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done 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: 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 x11-utils : Depends: libgl1-mesa-glx but it is not going to be installed or libgl1 E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages. It seems it is currently not possible to install wine1.4 from the official repository and get 32 bit applications running on 64 bit systems. ** Affects: wine1.4 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Summary changed: - Wine makes on 64 bit troubles + Wine makes on 64 bit systems troubles -- 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
