Re: [LAU] wine on 64bit debian

Hi I'm trying to install wine on my fresh 64bit debian. $ sudo apt-get install wine $ wine This gives me a window with the following: ------------------ This is the wine64-bin helper package, which does not provide wine itself, but instead exists solely to provide the following information about enabling multiarch on your system in order to be able to install and run the 32-bit wine packages. The following commands should be issued as root or via sudo in order to enable multiarch (the last command installs 32-bit wine): # dpkg --add-architecture i386 # apt-get update # apt-get install wine-bin:i386 Be very careful as spaces matter above. Note that this package (wine64-bin) will be removed in the process. For more information on the multiarch conversion, see: http://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch/HOWTO --------------------------- Hmm, this sounds a little fishy, I went ahead and ran the proposed: $ sudo apt-get install wine-bin:i386
