OS: Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS x64 + Gnome 3.36.8
I tried to install PlayOnLinux via Synaptic Package Manager, and it gave a list of software to be removed and installed. And the list of packages to be removed includes:
Cheese
LibreOffice-gnome
Ubuntu-desktop
Ubuntu-desktop-minimal
Ubuntu-standard
Ubuntu-minimal
Xorg
& some other stuff
The same stuff happened with Q4Wine, Wine, Wine-Stable, Wine64. But Winetricks asks to remove only Mesa, Ubuntu-desktop, Ubuntu-desktop-minimal, Xorg.
Any tips on how to solve this issue???
