Answer 1

Make sure you have added the PPA.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa

Then update your system.

sudo apt-get update

Then try installing Wine 1.5

sudo apt-get install wine1.5

That should get you up and running.

Answer 2

I aslo face similar issue on Ubuntu 12.04, I uses some step which i suggest here but before that you should try remove any instance of wine using following

1. use command to see list of particular package is installed sudo dpkg --list | grep wine

   it displayed list of preinstalled wine instance, if any

2. Remove the package which result in step first for e.g. if list like ii wine1.5 1.5.23-0ubuntu1 Microsoft Windows Compatibility Layer (Binary Emulator and Library) ii wine1.5-i386 1.5.23-0ubuntu1 Microsoft Windows Compatibility Layer (32-bit support) ii winetricks

use command following commnd to remove wine1.5, wine1.5-i386 as sudo apt-get remove --purge wine1.5 sudo apt-get remove --purge wine1.5-i386 or sudo apt-get remove --purge wine*

• to remove additional supporting file if not completely removed by purge command sudo apt-get remove --auto-remove wine1.5 and sudo apt-get remove --auto-remove wine1.5i386 && sudo apt-get autoclean

Referance: Read article for remove package

Try to add new architecture i386, use sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 &&sudo apt-get update

Add latest repositery of wine sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa &&sudo apt-get update Finaly run sudo apt-get install wine1.5

Answer 3

aptitude has a bug that keeps it from handling multiarch properly. So if you use apt-get instead, that may fix the problem. (And of course make sure to update before performing any major package management action from the command-line, unless you've done so recently.)

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install wine1.5

The bug was fixed in Ubuntu 12.10, but it has not been fixed in 12.04 or 11.10.

If apt-get says wine1.5 is not available:

If you don't specifically need version 1.5 of Wine, just install the latest version available in the official Ubuntu repositories:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install wine

If you do specifically need Wine 1.5, and you're running Ubuntu 11.10 or later (which it appears you are), enable the Wine PPA by running:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa

(Or you can use this graphical method.)

Then you should be able to install Wine 1.5:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install wine1.5

Please note that, after adding the PPA with add-apt-repository, you must run sudo apt-get update for the package manager to know to consult the newly added software source.

If that doesn't work:

If it still says Package wine1.5 is not available, but is referred to by another package., then it will be necessary to gather more information on what software sources are available. So run these commands, then put the output (separately) in your question:

cat /etc/apt/sources.list
for X in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*; do echo; echo; echo "** $X:"; echo; cat $X; done
