Cannot install wine i386 after upgrading from Ubuntu 18.04 to 20.04

km flag

I have tried every guide out there and cannot get wine i386 installed after upgrading my system from Ubuntu 18.04 to 20.04.

Following the WineHQ documentation gets me into dependency hell (requiring libfaudio0:i386 among other things, which is also impossible to install), and installing wine from the official Ubuntu repos ends up with errors like as root, please execute "apt-get install wine32-development".

Is there a different way to install it if you upgraded from 18.04 as opposed to clean 20.04 install?

EDIT: When I run any wine command I get the following: as root, please execute "apt-get install wine32-development"

When I try to install an msi file with wine msiexec /i /path/to/file I get the following: 003e:err:module:__wine_process_init L"C:\\windows\\syswow64\\msiexec.exe" not supported on this system

Edit your question to answer: Does installing the `wine32-development` package solve the first error?
km flag
I'm unable to install wine32-development. I end up in dependency hell, with one i386 package being required after another, none of which I am able to install.

Since you have not shown us the complete dependency hell output, not much we can help with. Your summaries lack sufficient detail to understand your specific problem.

Please add output of `apt-cache policy $(dpkg -l | grep wine | grep ^ii | awk '{print $2}')` to the question body by editing it.

Updated again. If I attempt to install `wine-stable` as the message suggests, I get another dependency issue, then another, and another etc etc.

In my case: docker witch node and java and electron this works - I left full dockerfile

FROM node:16.15.0

WORKDIR /work
COPY package.json .

RUN apt update
RUN apt-get -y install zip unzip

# node_modules witch angular and electron
RUN npm install -g n @angular/cli electron electron-builder

# JAVA
RUN apt-get -y install default-jre
RUN apt install openjdk-11-jre-headless 

# Wine (Wine32)
RUN apt install -y software-properties-common
RUN dpkg --add-architecture i386
RUN wget -nc https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key
RUN apt-key add winehq.key
RUN add-apt-repository 'deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/debian/ buster main'
RUN apt update
RUN apt -y install --install-recommends winehq-stable

There something wrong with your repositories or local package lists. The faudio library is available in official Ubuntu repositories since 20.04 LTS from universe pocket.

To install above listed packages you have to add i386 architecture to the system by

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386

and add universe pocket by

sudo apt-add-repository universe

then update package lists by

sudo apt-get update

and install wine as you planned by

sudo apt install --install-recommends wine-stable-i386

If above command fails, then install Aptitude and try to install Wine with it

sudo apt-get install aptitude
sudo aptitude install wine-stable-i386

Also I suppose that your versions of carla-bridge-wine came from some thirdparty repository, so you have to downgrade them by

sudo apt-get install carla-bridge-wine32=2.1-0ubuntu1 carla-bridge-wine64=2.1-0ubuntu1

If all above fails - then switch to Main Ubuntu software mirror and run all above commands again.

Unfortunately none of these work. The `universe` repo was already there. `apt` installing `wine-stable-i386` starts the dependency rabbit hole with `libfaudio0:i386`, and aptitude attempts to install things but actually just ends up removing a whole bunch of things that I do use (emacs, ag, plasma-desktop, etc etc) and doesn't actually install any of the wine i386 requirements. `carla-bridge-wine` is from KXstudio repos. At this point I think a re-install is the only option left.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
