Wine installs from software installer, but does not work and lacks wine32

[Member reymon]

Hello, hope somebody could help me and solve this problem.

OS: AntiX 19.4, live USB

I install Wine from Software Installer, apparently it goes smoothly and produces the following output:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
The following additional packages will be installed:
  wine64
Suggested packages:
  q4wine winbind winetricks playonlinux wine-binfmt exe-thumbnailer
  | kio-extras wine64-preloader
Recommended packages:
  wine32
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  wine wine64
0 upgraded, 2 newly installed, 0 to remove and 95 not upgraded.
Need to get 419 kB of archives.
After this operation, 881 kB of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n] 

Also tried to run sudo apt-get update before installation.

When I try to execute a Windows executable:

sudo wine64 ./file.exe
it looks like wine32 is missing, you should install it.
as root, please execute "apt-get install wine32"
wine: Bad EXE format for Z:\home\demo\file.exe

same output if using wine instead of wine64, still asks to install wine32 (I am however on a 64-bit system).

When I try to install wine32:

sudo apt-get install wine32

Tried opening Synaptic Package Manager, Edit->Fix Broken Packages, it shows at the bottom of the window: Successfully fixed dependency problems.
However, whenever I try to run sudo apt-get install wine32, same result.

Hi @reymon,

Maybe first try

sudo apt autoremove

Then
delete the .wine directory in /home.
Then
sudo apt update

I would make sure that the antix repos are recognized during the sudo apt update.
Then try again to install wine

sudo apt install wine wine32 wine64

Hope this helps. Others may know more to help.

If you do’t mind, could you share your repo list?
inxi -r

And also show the different sources for wine and wine32
apt policy wine wine32

I was able to install wine and wine32 on a live 64-bit antiX 19.4 full (default repos), so I am hoping you should also be able to do so.

wine is already the newest version (4.0-2).
wine64 is already the newest version (4.0-2).
wine64 set to manually installed.

Of course, I’d really like to solve this.

You must have enabled thedeb http://www.deb-multimedia.org testing main non-free repo. Remove it and try again

Maybe before removing that repo, check all packages that were installed from that deb multimedia repo (and remove them or install the buster version).

You may be able to identify them in the list (if you haven’t disabled the repo yet)
apt list --installed | grep testing

I’ll do that, thank you.
By the way, thank you for this project.

UPDATE: It worked, thank you very much!

Here’s the output:

sudo apt list --installed | grep testing

That is great. If you have time, please edit your first post to add [SOLVED] to the title, so it is easier for others to find this thread in the future.

Perfect. Then there is nothing you need to uninstall. The problem had an easy resolution.
