Wine Install Conflict -Notification to Users-

General Help
1

In Zorin OS 18, Wine and Zorin Windows App Support packages are currently (as of Oct '25) being affected by a package conflict in which a dependency was set for a package that does not exist in the Ubuntu Repository.

Due to this, installing wine will likely lead to
dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/libgtk-3-0t64_3.24.41-4ub untu1.3_i386.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite shared '/etc/gtk-3.0/settings.ini', which is different from other instances of package libgtk-3-0t64:i386

Whille users can use a --force flag, I do not recommend doing so as this may cause system instabilities given that the libgtk-3-0t64 package is a new package intended to replace the 22.04 setup to resolve a time inconsistency in that package.

maybe install using the official WineHQ packages?

That is the source of the dependency issue.

The reason thought it might work is because installed WineHQ yesterday and didn’t run into any issues.

I was able to solve this problem with claude.ai; this AI has a full understanding of how Zorin OS is built and the packages it uses. If I find the conversation, I will share it so that those who have the same problem can solve it.

Hi. Is there any updated status as to when this issue could be resolved?
Thank you.

I also am interested as I just installed Zorin and would like to get Wine installed so I can test some Windows apps. Is there a source where we could check to see if it's been fixed?
