Windows App Support can't be installed on clean Zorin OS 16 Core

Nothing special. No broken packages

What if you install zorin wine support via Synaptic?


It seems, bad idea

yeah, don't do that.

Have you at any time added a third party source to your source.list? (Other than chrome?)

VSCode, mongodb, mono and Chrome

Now I'm trying on a new clean install. I think there is not necessary to discuss the main OS installation.

So try install wine support first this time.

Yes, we previously tried everything. I am stumped. I would have thought the r1 version may relate, but that would not explain the previous thread.


New install. No updates installed. Same problem. Synaptic shows this conflicts

It is trying to install libc6 32 bit (Which would be very bad - do not let it do that) instead of installing the 32bit arch dependencies.
What it needs, instead is

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386

I do not understand this, since I know already that the O.P. has repeatedly tried that command.

Maybe, it is necessary to upgrade zorin-windows-app-support version? In repository. Maybe it is too old for the new Core version?

I have no trouble if I test install it on mine.
I have wondered if there is throttling due to regional location, actually...

But when I remember, you have Lite version. Can you show the version of wine and libc?

ldd --version                                                           
ldd (Ubuntu GLIBC 2.31-0ubuntu9.7) 2.31

I cannot show Wine Version because I do not have it installed. I do not use Wine and while I had tested and installed it in your previous thread, I removed it not long after. I would prefer to not install it merely for demonstrative purposes...

Show please only details. With apt show. You don't have to install

And wine32 please.

I have the same version installed.

I would like to know which windows app it is that you are trying to install...
