Indeed.  That thought really made me grimace.

I also thought of using Sound Juicer to play the music from the cdrom.

However if the original poster thought, I will use wine, then I think
it more likely this "old CDROM" must be an old PC game for either
MS-DOS or MS-Windows.

My bad. You don't need to append the architecture. So just:

apt install wine32

or if you prefer

apt-get install wine32

should work.

This looks like an unrelated issue. If xdg-desktop-portal isn't
something you use, purging it as in:

apt-get purge xdg-desktop-portal

should resolve that for you. I seem to recall someone else posted to
the list with this issue a few days ago. From what I recall from that
thread, xdg-desktop-portal got pulled in by something else, but wasn't
actually needed.

IME, it is generally about the worst way and/or problematic. At best,
it will only work until something is upgraded.

What is on the cdrom?
There might be better ways to access it.
Like vlc for any multimedia stuff.

Indeed. The version of wine on multiple chimaera systems I have
installed is 5.0.3-3.

Here's how you install wine32:

dpkg --add-architecture i386
apt update
apt install wine32:i386

Your suggestion made me feel rather guilty until I checked after doing 
update/upgrade

  $ aptitude show wine | less
  Version: 5.0.3-3
  State: installed

Are you running Ceres?

I have wine installed, but it's 6.0.3, not 5.0.3 - did you do a "apt update" 
before you tried?

[DNG] installing Wine 32

2022-03-27 Thread Haines Brown
I'm running Chimaera and trying to play an old CDROM. I assume
simplest way is to install wine. When I try to play the cdrom with
wine64 I am told wine 32 is missing. I proceed to install 
wine and wine32. 

Installation of wine tells me that wine 5.0.3-3 is already
installed. 

I proceed to install wine32. I'm told:

   wine32:i386 : Depends: libc6:i386 (>= 2.28) but it is not 
going to be installed
 Depends: libwine:i386 (= 5.0.3-3) but it 
is not installable

An attempt to install the former lists dozens of dependendencies 
that are not going to be installed.  Same for libwine:386

I'm afraid of breaking applications.  Shouldn't the 
installation of an application in the Chimaera repositroy
be simpler than this?
