[Bug 1652434] Re: package wine-stable 1.8.5-1ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: triggers looping, abandoned

[jre]

This bug was fixed in the package wine - 1.8.6-3ubuntu1

---
wine (1.8.6-3ubuntu1) zesty; urgency=medium

  * Merge with Debian (LP: #1571816). Remaining changes:
- Use unversioned sonames in debian/scripts/sonames2elf
  so that dpkg-shlibdeps can find libGL.so in Ubuntu (closes: #827770).
- Rename package wine to wine-stable. Needed for the transition to a
  0-epoch in the version number.
  Necessary until after the transition is complete (18.04).

wine (1.8.6-3) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Fix AppStream metainfo file (closes: #848839).

wine (1.8.6-2) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Jens Reyer ]
  * Cherrypick changes from master:
- Reorganize patches and add some metadata.
- Drop shlib-exit-calls.patch.
- Drop openal.patch, fixed upstream.
- Simplify the foreign-arch test in the wine script.
- Let wine suggest winbind.
- Change trigger interest to noawait (LP: 1652434).
- Documentation updates.
- Blacklist some extensions for native file type association
  (closes: #845334).
  * Sort packages in debian/control.in.
  * Drop obsolete entries from d/clean.
  * Check for invalid WINEARCH values (closes: #838474).
  * Generate and install wine.svg icon.
  * Add initial AppStream metainfo file (closes: #848839).

[Ken McLennan]

Thanks for the swift response.

I fixed it by removing all wine stuff, fixed a broken package with
Synaptic in there somewhere, removed ~/.wine and reinstalled following
the instructions on the Wine website. Had to load a few extras but it
was part of the automated process & all is now good. All of this to run
PocketD - a DOS program. I don't need it but I hope to try to build
something similar with Python just because. Seems like a reasonable way
to learn the language 邏

Thanks for your reply, Merry Christmas

Hi,

thanks for reporting this. I can reproduce this if I switch from wine-
stable + wine32 to wine-stable + wine64. I'll (try to) fix that soon.

However the original reason that prompted you to do this ("Couldn't run winecfg 
due to having i386 library on a AMD64 system") seems to be a misunderstanding:
Running wine-stable + wine32 is perfectly fine, and should work (if you want to 
run only 32-bit Windows applications this might even be the safer bet). So what 
exactly happened when you wanted to run winecfg?

If you have problems now to (un-)install packages due to this bug, just
remove wine-stable and wine64. This should bring your system back in a
perfectly fine state.

[jre]

For the avoidance of doubt:

Most/many Windows applications are 32-bit. You do need wine32 installed
for them. wine64 is of no help here.

But also for 64-bit Windows applications you normally need wine32
installed (next to wine64) because some required Windows/Wine subsystems
are 32-bit only.
