Zorin 16 Can't install Windows App Support

I can't install the Windows App Support. I get the error message The following packages have unmet dependencies: zorin-windows-app-support: Depends: wine32 but it is a virtual package I looked up my packages in Synaptic but everything seems to be fine. I've already seen some threads on this matter but they are either outdated or unresolved.

P.S I'm using zorin os 16 core

Hi and welcome to the forum:

Windows App Support issue has been acknowledged by the devs.
See this thread:

Zorin-windows-app-support

Thanks for letting us know about this issue! We've seen some reports of it, and it looks like the issue affects a subset of users attempting to install this package. We've published a new version of the zorin-windows-app-support package a few minutes ago which should fix this issue for everyone. Just to make sure WINE installs correctly with it, it's recommended to either open the Software Updater or run sudo apt update before installing the package.

Hi, I'm still having this problem with zorin windows app support.

Can you please run the following:

sudo apt --fix-broken install

sudo apt remove wine*

Once done, open Software & Updates and ensure you have no WineHQ repositories. If you do, please remove them.

In your Home Directory, remove the ~/.wine folder.

Once all of that is done run

sudo apt install -y zorin-windows-app-support

sudo apt remove wine*

Once all of that is done run

sudo apt install -y zorin-windows-app-support

I did this before, but it didn't help.

I tried to install zoin windows app support with aptitude, unfortunately it says that it will remove these packages to solve dependencies:

149) zorin-desktop-session [4.2.3 (focal, now)]
150) zorin-os-default-settings [16.3 (focal, now)]
151) zorin-os-docs [16.0.1 (focal, now)]

[Aravisian]

You did well cancelling that.
Did you add 32 bit architecture support?

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386

That list looks like aptitude was trying to remove all 64 bit packages and revert your system to a 32 bit system (and hopelessly break it).

@Aravisian

Did you add 32 bit architecture support?

Yes, but in Z15.3 I installed app support without it.

I was thinking so too.

[Aravisian]

I need some clarity here...
Can you post the terminal output of

sudo apt update

sudo apt remove wine

[Khnome]

Not much

[Aravisian]

Looks good.

Open Software & Updates application and set yourself to "Main Server" in the drop down menu on the first tab (Download From), not a local regional mirror.

[Khnome]

I was exactly doing this, but it's not working.

[Aravisian]

Can you post the output of

dpkg --print-foreign-architectures

[Khnome]

dpkg --print-foreign-architectures

i386

[Aravisian]

Ok, I am stumped.

Testing this on mine works flawlessly.

Have you run:
sudo apt-get -y install software-properties-common

[Khnome]

Maybe one of zorin devs can help?

[Khnome]

Yes, it's installed.

[Aravisian]

Yes, at this point - you have installed Wine- that did not work. You backed up, removed all - then installed zorin windows app support and that also did not work.
It's probably something simple... that we missed.

I was installed lutris just after Z16 installation, but now I removed it
