Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Doesn't work with official Wine PPA either: https://www.winehq.org/download/ubuntu
I would appreciate an updated Wine package that works with other bleeding-edge stuff on Wily. This thing with Wine however is from what I observed over the years pretty common and almost every development version of Ubuntu has this problem. In fact I can't remember a single release where Wine would work during the whole period of its development.

But then, if you need a more reliable system you should stay on stable releases rather than daily builds. Of if you like running bleeding-edge but totally unreliable system as I do, there is no other way but to get used to broken things. And yes, you can always compile it on your own :).

This bug has been fixed in Xubuntu 15.10 32 bit

[Erkin Alp Güney (erkinalp9035)]

#4: not fixed at all.

[tannalv (gandkri)]

#4: It's still not fixed on my end. I am confuse?

Wine still a problem

[Barry Drake (b-drake)]

I installed wine yesterday on a new machine with a fresh install of Wily. Installed OK. Worked out of the box straight from the Ubuntu repo. The problem no longer exists, and has not for a while.

[Barry Drake (b-drake)]

Just a thought - if you tried to install the latest version instead of the one in the Wily repo. This is not yet possible. Wine has been held back until a whole lot of dependencies can be satisfied. It will appear in Xenial before it is backported to Wily. Be patient! This is not a bug.

[Oxwivi (oxwivi)]

It is fixed in the sense than wine1.6 is installing fine on Wily. wine1.7 is only available from PPA, and that is definitely not working. So yes, if you want your prepackaged Wine fix, the only way is to: sudo apt-get install wine1.6

[Olanrewaju (garbigarba)]

@Oxwivi It hasn't been fixed, I just tried again... at least on the 64bit version of wily

[Barry Drake (b-drake)]

See the comment above. You can only install 1.6 at the present time. 1.7 will be fixed in Xenial first. Just forget trying to install anything other than the version from the Ubuntu repo. It is a problem, but the bug originally reported here IS fixed by reverting to 1.6 for now. Please be patient!

Unfortunately, this is what I get on 64bit version of Wily

$sudo apt-get install wine should work. Have you tried sudo apt-get update followed by sudo apt-get dist-upgrade to make sure your version of wily really is completely up to date. Do that first, then try installing wine without any version numbers. I've had wine working in wily for months now.

[Vertago1 (vertago1)]

Try this:

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install wine

Always, this message after

Did you try to install the proposed version, and in doing so, did you try to download and install the missing dependencies? If so, you have a broken system, and can only get it back if you purge all the 'missing dependencies' that you installed already. It might be quicker to completely re-install 15.04.

[John Cupitt (jcupitt)]

I'm seeing this bug in a fresh wily install in docker. Try this Dockerfile:

FROM ubuntu:wily
RUN apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y && apt-get install -y wine

Then:

$ sudo docker build -t test2 x

@vertago1 's suggestion works. This Dockerfile:

FROM ubuntu:wily
RUN dpkg --add-architecture i386 && apt-get update && apt-get install -y wine

is fine. Thank you vertago, hope I've not created too much noise.

[jre (jre-phoenix)]

Package wine1.6 installs if foreign arch i386 was added previously. Closing.
