Im trying to install Wine on a fresh installation of Ubuntu 23.04 but im having trouble with wine32.

$ sudo apt install wine

The regular continue question says that wine 32 is a recommended package. Installation completes with no warnings.

$ wine

Gives response: it looks like wine32 is missing, you should install it. as root, please execute "apt-get install wine32:i386" Usage: wine PROGRAM [ARGUMENTS...] Run the specified program wine --help Display this help and exit wine --version Output version information and exit"

sudo apt install wine32

Gives response: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Reading state information... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: init : PreDepends: systemd-sysv E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.

$ sudo apt install wine'tab-tab'

wine32 doesnt show up in the list.

$apt search --names-only wine32

wine32 is found in the repository.

I have already enabled i386 and also tried to fallow the installation instructions on wineHQ webpage with no better luck.

Does anyone know what could be the problem and how to fix it?

I had similar problem (couldn't install wine32 on Ubuntu 23.10). For me worked simply

sudo apt update

Then

sudo apt-get install wine32

worked.

After that when running wine I got the following error:

wine: could not load kernel32.dll, status c0000135

which I fixed according to https://forum.manjaro.org/t/wine-could-not-load-kernel32-dll-status-c0000135/69811/2:

  1. remove ~/.wine: rm -r ~/.wine

  2. winecfg

You tried installing something with wine already ? use wine as normal user

wine PROGRAM [ARGUMENTS...]

and check if it works...
