Bug Description
On Lubuntu 32-bit 18.04 wine-stable installs wine64 with hundreds of other amd64 packages (~ 700 MB), so wine doesn't work:
$ winecfg
wine: created the configuration directory '/home/ich/.wine'
/usr/
wine: chdir to /tmp/.wine-
Even passing the architecture explicitly doesn't help:
sudo apt-get install wine-stable:i386
Source of the problem seems to be the foreign amd64 architecture as a workaround for bug 1648278 which can't be removed:
$ LC_ALL=C dpkg --remove-
dpkg: error: cannot remove architecture 'amd64' currently in use by the database
Workaround here:
sudo apt-get install wine32
instead:
sudo apt-get install wine-stable
Possible solution:
Installation of wine-stable should not prioritize on _foreign_ architecture.
