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 🤓

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. -- You received this bug notification because you are subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1652434 Title: package wine-stable 1.8.5-1ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: triggers looping, abandoned Status in wine package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: Couldn't run winecfg due to having i386 library on a AMD64 system.
