Edit: explicitly downgrading to 10.1 with

sudo apt install wine-staging=10.1~focal-1 wine-staging-amd64=10.1~focal-1 wine-staging-i386:i386=10.1~focal-1 winehq-staging=10.1~focal-1

worked for me, but see other solutions posted below.

Thank you for the help!

On Ubuntu, the last apt upgrade of Wine broke down, bringing down the whole apt system:

The following packages have unmet dependencies. wine-staging : Depends: wine-staging-amd64 (= 10.2~focal-2) but 10.2~focal-1 is installed

At the suggestion of running sudo apt --fix-broken install, this is what happens:

Unpacking wine-staging-amd64 (10.2~focal-2) over (10.2~focal-1) ... dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/wine-staging-amd64_10.2~focal-2_amd64.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite '/opt/wine-staging/bin/wine', which is also in package wine-staging-i386:i386 10.2~focal-2 dpkg-deb: error: paste subprocess was killed by signal (Broken pipe) Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/wine-staging-amd64_10.2~focal-2_amd64.deb E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Apparently this is also happening on Linux Mint: https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=441158

Any suggestions? Cheers!

The problem is that the whole apt system seems to be broken. It doesn't let me install other packages, and I can't even uninstall wine. So I wonder if any fixes from wine will work. It looks like this needs the user's manual intervention.

$ sudo apt upgrade

You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies.
 wine-staging : Depends: wine-staging-amd64 (= 10.2~focal-2) but 10.2~focal-1 is installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

$ sudo apt remove wine-staging-amd64

 wine-staging : Depends: wine-staging-amd64 (= 10.2~focal-2) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

but sudo apt --fix-broken install does not solve anything...

Yeah it'll take manual intervention until 10.2~focal-3 comes out. You should be able to remove wine-staging, or maybe uninstall wine-staging-i386 then use --fix-broken, or maybe downgrade wine-staging to whichever version depends on 10.2~focal-1. Anything that gets rid of the dependency on the broken package.

Edit: explicitly installing 10.1 with

sudo apt install wine-staging=10.1~focal-1 wine-staging-amd64=10.1~focal-1 wine-staging-i386:i386=10.1~focal-1 winehq-staging=10.1~focal-1

worked.

But I can't remove wine-staging, at least not via apt:

$ sudo apt remove wine-staging-i386

So no go there. --fix-broken doesn't work either:

Any idea on how to remove Wine manually, bypassing apt?

sudo apt -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-overwrite" --fix-broken install

[-] catloaf@lemm.ee 2 points 4 months ago

I'm not sure I'd recommend that. Seems like it'd result in more breakage from mismatched architecture files.

[-] ryannathans@aussie.zone 1 points 4 months ago

Probably but it's fucked anyway and now you can at least replace it with another wine or wait till it's fixed tomorrow

[-] pglpm@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 months ago

Thank you! didn't know about that command.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
