Problems installing Wine on Zorin OS 16

Of course. But, please, don't be disappointed, because I think something went wrong. :grimacing:

Don't read it now, wait for the translating magic:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading status information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This could mean that
you requested an impossible situation or, if you are using the
unstable distribution, that some required packages were not
created yet or removed from "Incoming".
The following information may help resolve the situation:

The following packages have mismatched dependencies:
zorin-windows-app-support : Depends: wine or
winehq-stable but will not be installed
It depends: playonlinux but it will not be installed
It depends: wine32:i386
E: Unable to fix issues, you kept (hold) broken packages.

This is getting a little bit complicated, right?
Thank you for the help!

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386

sudo apt update && sudo apt --fix-broken install

This error happened when I used the second command:

Here it is your translated text:

Err:19 Index of /ubuntu-audio-dev/alsa-daily/ubuntu focal Release

This error is following me, but I won't give up so easy.
Thank you!

Those errors are no big deal. They just mean that those repositories in your sources list are not working. Remove them:
Open software & updates from teh app menu and then move to the other software tab.
Scan for the WINE repository and click on it to select it, then click the remove button at the bottom.
Repeat this for the ubuntu-audio-dev alsa repo...
once done, close Software & Updates and it will refresh, then open terminal and test

sudo apt update

An easier way may be to just use PlayOnLinux: Walkthrough/Tips for troubleshooting - PlayOnLinux (POL) - running Windows applications easier than plain vanilla Wine

Install any version of wine through PlayOnLinux - see #4 on that link. That’s if you’re comfortable just using POL - that’s what I do. I stopped using vanilla Wine a while back.

There are lots of wine here. (served?)
Which one I should remove?
Thank you for the help and patience!

ALL of them. Artful? Impish? Only Focal should be there. No wonder you had these errors.
Yep, they all must go...

Just to be sure, now everything that should be removed is removed?

Thank you!

Ubuntu-audio-dev needs to go, too...

OK! WE HAVE SOMETHING NEW AND GOOD HERE.
This happened, and I am pretty sure that it's not a error. What should I do next?

Did you ever get zorin-windows-app-support installed? Or opt for @carmar 's advice about POL?

After I used

sudo apt upgrade

Nothing wrong happened (I think). The mistakes are gone! :man_dancing:

Answering your questions:
1 - Not that I remember.
2 - I have tried to download the POL, but, almost the same errors that happened with Wine happened with it.

You are helping me a lot, thank you! :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

When I used the command, they asked me to choice if I would like to continue the operation. I said "Yes", but it was interrupted. Here it is:

0 updated packages, 142 new packages installed, 0 to be removed and 0 not updated.
You need to download 115 MB of files.
After this operation, an additional 1,027 MB of disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n] Y
Abort.

You bumped a key by accident. Can you try again?

That's weird, I only pressed S (the Yes in portuguese), and Enter. I should not press Enter?

S, then enter. I think you accidentally bumped a key while hitting the S key...

No, it's really happening when I press Enter after S. :frowning_face:
Thank you for the patience and help! :heart:
