Installation of wine1.6 fails because of duplicate wine64-preloader

[Michael Tänzer]

When trying to upgrade or install Wine1.6 from the official Wine PPA it gives the following error (also tried to completely remove wine1.5 first):

I confirm this one.

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

[Milodovi'c (miloud-rashid)]

this bug affects me too

[Abel Atkinson (jetforce2)]

I am being affected by this bug as well. I can rid of the problem by having synaptic package manager take care of it, but when I try and reinstall wine the same problem occurs.

[Alexander B (ale-bychuk)]

fix it please..
I confirm this one too

[Marko Friedemann (mfr-bc)]

The package
 wine1.6_1.6~rc2-0ubuntu1~ppa1_amd64.deb

contains two files
 /usr/bin/wine64-preloader
 /usr/bin/wine64

that are also present in
 wine1.6-amd64_1.6~rc2-0ubuntu1~ppa1_amd64.deb

I deleted them from the generic package and can confirm that it can be installed and works fine afterwards.

[Alexander B (ale-bychuk)]

Please tell me how I can fix problem on my ubuntu

[Mark Howell (markjhowell)]

FWIW I modified my wine deb package as described by Marko Friedemann above and got wine 1.6 to install. This requires modest hacking confidence, I don't have exact command lines for you here.

The original wine1.6_1.6~rc2-0ubuntu1~ppa1_amd64.deb will likely be in /var/cache/apt/archives.

I copied that file to my home dir, gave myself permission to edit, and then unpacked, removed /usr/bin/wine64 and /usr/bin/wine64-preloader, and rebuilt the deb with a new name, then installed it with 'dpkg -i (new-wine-pkg).deb'. That install failed, but then after doing 'apt-get -f install', the wine install completed using the modified package, and wine is now working.

Instructions for unpacking/editing/repacking a deb file: https://geekwentfreak-raviteja.rhcloud.com/2012/10/modify-dependencies-addremove-files-of-debian-deb-package/

Hope this helps anyone who is stuck until the proper fix shows up.

[Josh Robinson (jmr59)]

I've also modified the wine deb package, and am simply providing command lines for anyone with less hacking confidence.

~$ cp /var/cache/apt/archives/wine1.6_1.6~rc2-0ubuntu1~ppa1_amd64.deb /tmp/wine1.6_1.6~rc2-0ubuntu1~ppa1_amd64.deb
~$ cd /tmp
~$ mkdir wine-deb
~$ dpkg-deb -x wine1.6_1.6~rc2-0ubuntu1~ppa1_amd64.deb wine-deb
~$ dpkg-deb --control wine1.6_1.6~rc2-0ubuntu1~ppa1_amd64.deb wine-deb/DEBIAN
~$ rm deb/usr/bin/wine64
~$ rm deb/usr/bin/wine64-preloader
~$ dpkg -b deb wine1.6-new.deb
~$ sudo dpkg -i wine1.6-new.deb
~$ sudo apt-get -f install

[Eugene Romanenko (eros2)]

Same problem on i386, see Bug #1191472.

[moh10ly (moh10ly)]

Me too I have the same problem on PinGuyOS 64x distro

[moh10ly (moh10ly)]

By the way guys, if you want to fix this error temporarily until the bug has been fixed you need to do the following

sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/wine1.6-amd64_1.6~rc2-0ubuntu1~ppa1_amd64.deb
Then type

sudo apt-get autoremove

then
sudo apt-get update

hope this helps

[mccurly (mzcl-mn)]

I also had this bug.

Hacking away (almost) as outlined by Josh Robinson (jmr59) got it installed.

Just a small tip:

~$ rm deb/usr/bin/wine64
~$ rm deb/usr/bin/wine64-preloader
~$ dpkg -b deb wine1.6-new.deb

should be preceded by something like:

~$ mv -i wine-deb/ deb/

And thank you very much to him, Mark Howell for "paving the way" for this "temporary" solution.

[Josh Robinson (jmr59)]

Sorry: I documented the commands using different directory names from the ones I used, and managed to miss three of the changes.

Here's the (I think corrected and complete) list of commands for anyone who still needs it:

~$ cp /var/cache/apt/archives/wine1.6_1.6~rc2-0ubuntu1~ppa1_amd64.deb /tmp/wine1.6_1.6~rc2-0ubuntu1~ppa1_amd64.deb
~$ cd /tmp
~$ mkdir wine-deb
~$ dpkg-deb -x wine1.6_1.6~rc2-0ubuntu1~ppa1_amd64.deb wine-deb
~$ dpkg-deb --control wine1.6_1.6~rc2-0ubuntu1~ppa1_amd64.deb wine-deb/DEBIAN
~$ rm wine-deb/usr/bin/wine64
~$ rm wine-deb/usr/bin/wine64-preloader
~$ dpkg -b wine-deb wine1.6-new.deb
~$ sudo dpkg -i wine1.6-new.deb
~$ sudo apt-get -f install

[trytip (trytip)]

i confirm that the above temp/fix comment #17 by Josh Robinson did in fact repair my wine 1.6 and i'm a novice.
thanx for the info.

[indigocat (indigocat)]

Confirmed, wine1.6 up & runing according to #17.

[Kenneth (krcabrer)]

Thank you, it worked for me too. #17.

[Ingo Drescher (ingodrescher)]

Hello, I am not an expert regarding apt-get and dpkg and therefore I would like to know if I can use the commands of #17 without worrying that future wine releases will not be installed automatically anymore. Will it somehow break the the package sources and installing programs via apt-get and Ubuntu Software-Center?

[Jose M. (jose-i)]

Thank you #17. It worked for me in on i386. I have upload the modified .deb for i386 at http://s1.redeswifi.com/wine1.6/

[Brett Hatton (transienttuna)]

Thanks #17, fix works for me.

[LaunchpadUser (lpusr)]

#17 doesn't work by default: I hade to rename "deb" with "wine-deb":

[LaunchpadUser (lpusr)]

When will this be fixed? I already got other Ubuntu updaters telling about wine 1.5 to replace by 1.6 ... with this error still occuring!

[K1773R (k1773r)]

this is a simple fix, wake up idiots!

[Scott Ritchie (scottritchie)]

I fixed it yesterday, unfortunately I was gone for the weekend after the bad upload. Unfortunately you have to do:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -f install

There doesn't seem to be any UI way to attempt that operation once package state is broken.

[Gregor Möllring (gregormo)]

Still doesn't work here (Linux Mint 13).

[Scott Ritchie (scottritchie)]

Try again (with 1.6~rc2-0ubuntu1~ppa4), there was a collision with that fix and a concurrent fix by Maarten, both should be applied now.

[Joshua Kugler (jkugler)]

I did this:

sudo apt-get remove wine1.6-amd64 wine1.6 wine1.6-i386:i386

and

sudo apt-get install wine1.6-amd64 wine1.6 wine1.6-i386:i386

And all worked. Just trying to do 'apt-get install -f' didn't resolve the problem.

[tmuller (t-moi-larsson+launchpad)]

I also fixed it.

if you have below in /var/cache/apt/archives
wine1.6-amd64_1.6~rc2-0ubuntu1~ppa1_amd64.deb

I did this:

That's all
