Upgrade wine to latest 1.6 release

[Kai Mast]

Created this bug here as wine1.4 also provides the general "wine" package.

Please upgrade to 1.6. It brings many improvements and is already pacakged in the Wine PPA:
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-wine/+archive/ppa

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

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

Updating WINE to latest 1.6 release would fix a lots of bug, for example LP bug #990547 and bug #684673

[Kai Mast (kai-mast)]

This bug currently breaks wine1.6 in the ppa https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wine/+bug/1207716

But it comes down to a simple rebuild (as was already done with 1.4). Somebody just needs to step up and upload wine1.6 to the Ubuntu repositories. Sadly, I don't have the rights to do that.

If there are doubts that this will introduce regressions, I suggest we just keep wine pointing to wine1.4 and allow people to install wine1.6 manually.

I'm actually going to change the packaging around for Ubuntu proper a bit, that's what's been taking some time.

[Scott Ritchie (scottritchie)]

I decided the packaging change wasn't actually correct after all. The PPA has been fixed.

See this bug for the full migration to remove older Wine bits: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wine-gecko1.4/+bug/1218645

I have another issue not sure if it is a problem: I always get the following message whenrunning wine

p11-kit: couldn't load module: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/pkcs11/p11-kit-trust.so: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/pkcs11/p11-kit-trust.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Installing p11-kit:i386 resolve the problem but it removes some other packages like ubuntuone

[Peter Antoniac (pan1nx)]

Agreed with kai-mast. Not only thta, but you will switch to i386 for the p11-kit (meaning, you will REMOVE gnome-keyring p11-kit that are for amd64)...

[Peter Antoniac (pan1nx)]

On the other hand, it looks like you migth need to do a new wineconfig with the "export WINEARCH=win32". My workaround was to move .wine to .wine-64 (just in case you have something there that you want to backup). Then, set the WINEARCH to win32 and run the winecfg to create the new .wine. Alternatively, you can use "export WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.wine-32", then create a new .wine-32 configuration when you run winecfg (to set your prefered version). Hope that this helps...

If version in Saucy will be upgraded, then it should be also upgraded in Trusty too.
