trying to install Wine on Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS

**reut2** · September 18th, 2023

Her is the output I get while trying to install Wine.

reuven@reuven-OptiPlex-9020:~$ sudo apt install --install-recommends wine-stable

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
wine-stable : Depends: libc6 (>= 2.34) but 2.31-0ubuntu9.9 is to be installed
Depends: wine-stable-i386 (= 8.0.2~jammy-1)
Depends: wine-stable-amd64 (= 8.0.2~jammy-1) but it is not going to be installed

I don't use Wine but you need to check your sources list.

You say you are trying to install to 20.04.6 LTS but the errors indicate Jammy repositories which is 22.04 LTS.

Post the output of:

Code:

cat /etc/apt/sources.list

You should also check Software Manager to see what additional repositories or PPAs you've added recently.

Do:

Code:

sudo apt-get build-dep --install-recommends wine-stable

RE: man apt-get

Code:

       build-dep
           build-dep causes apt-get to install/remove packages in an attempt
           to satisfy the build dependencies for a source package. By default
           the dependencies are satisfied to build the package natively. If
           desired a host-architecture can be specified with the
           --host-architecture option instead.

           The arguments are interpreted as binary or source package names.
           See the --only-source option if you want to change that.
