There's a broken dependencies:

balthild@Balthild-Linux:~$ sudo apt-get install wine1.7 winetricks
[sudo] password for balthild:

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:
 wine1.7 : Depends: wine1.7-amd64 (= 1:1.7.44-0ubuntu1) but it is not going to be installed
           Depends: wine1.7-i386 (= 1:1.7.44-0ubuntu1) but it is not installable
           Recommends: gnome-exe-thumbnailer but it is not going to be installed or
                       kde-runtime but it is not going to be installed
           Recommends: ttf-mscorefonts-installer but it is not going to be installed

           Recommends: ttf-wqy-microhei

And I then find the reason:

                 Recommends: wine-mono4.5.4 but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

The package libgphoto2-port10 is no longer provided in 15.10 wily, and instead there's libgphoto2-port12 .

balthild@Balthild-Linux:~$ sudo apt-get install libgphoto2-port12

libgphoto2-port12 is already the newest version.

With this, iI can't install wine1.7 on my system. Is there any resolutions?

  • Duplicate of http://askubuntu.com/questions/689034/wine-1-7-not-installing-on-xubuntu-15-10 Looks like Wine is not correctly Packaged for 15.10 Release Cycle. I have never had any issues with the packages for 15.04 using the same PPA. – Rajat Pandita Nov 15 '15 at 09:42
  • @RajatPandita yes, could be a duplicate but not really. The given answer seems to solve this problem and looks promising. – A.B. Nov 15 '15 at 20:54

    Please look deeper into the post, There is one Dependency libgphoto2-port10 If you install this manually as per http://askubuntu.com/questions/689034/wine-1-7-not-installing-on-xubuntu-15-10 It should work. Let me know if it does not. – Rajat Pandita Nov 19 '15 at 04:28

You install Wine 1.6 first then install wine 1.7 though play on Linux

Open up a terminal and type in:

sudo apt-get install wine1.6

Install play on Linux

Download the latest version of play on Linux.

wget https://www.playonlinux.com/script_files/PlayOnLinux/4.2.9/PlayOnLinux_4.2.9.deb

Then install it.

sudo dpkg -i PlayOnLinux_4.2.9.deb

Open play on linux

playonlinux 

Click then configure then click on New to create a new Virtual Drive

enter image description here

When you have done that. Click on your virtual Drive that you just created: enter image description here

Select the wine version you want installed then click on the > to install the wine version.

enter image description here

When the wine version is installed it should show up like this.
