Package: wine-bin-unstable Version: 1.5.7-2 Followup-For: Bug #707046 `/var/lib/dpkg/info/wine-bin-unstable.postinst` tries to run:
/usr/sbin/update-binfmts --import wine which assumes that there exists a file called `/usr/share/binfmts/wine` in the correct format. However, the file in question is found (on my system, at least) at `/usr/share/binfmts/wine/wine`, i.e. in a subfolder. This makes `update- binfmts` fail. One can give an absolute path as: $ sudo /usr/sbin/update-binfmts --import /usr/share/binfmts/wine/wine update-binfmts: warning: /usr/share/binfmts/wine/wine: no executable /usr/bin/wine-auto found, but continuing anyway as you request We see that we lack some binaries here. Updating the postinst script to point to the `wine/wine` file (the "correct way" would be to write the file to the correct path) still leaves the update-alternatives: error: alternative path /usr/bin/wine32-unstable doesn't exist error. From `man update-alternatives`: Note that the master alternative must exist or the call will fail. Bypassing `update-alternatives` altogether lets the install process finish cleanly, but that will leave the Wine installation completely broken as there is no corresponding binary files to all the symlinks in `/usr/bin`. My guess is thus that the problem is two-fold: 1. `/usr/share/binfmts/wine/wine` should be written to `/usr/share/binfmts/wine` 2. the binaries `/usr/bin/wine32-unstable`, `/usr/bin/winecfg32-unstable`, etc. should be installed. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-686-pae (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=sv_SE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages wine-bin-unstable depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.50 ii libwine-bin-unstable 1.5.7-2 ii libwine-gecko-1.4 1.4+dfsg1-3 ii x11-utils 7.7~1 ii xbase-clients 1:7.7+3 wine-bin-unstable recommends no packages.
