Bug #: 32873 Summary: Wine unable to install Product: Wine Version: unspecified Platform: Other OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: blocker Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: d3553@hotmail.com Classification: Unclassified
Wine is unfortunately almost impossible to use. I first installed wine 1.2.2 from the repository. Then tried to use it to install MSOffice2003. Didn't work. Then I uninstalled that wine version and tried installing a newer one. Impossible. there is a link on your site to wine 1.4. When using the link to install wine, I get a cryptic message that it is "virtual". When using the link to 1.5, I get a message that it is not found.
I've now tried to locate it somewhere else on your site. Lot's of referrals, nothing useful; going in circles or to dead ends.
2 things would improve things a lot: 1: clearly state what version(s) can be used. 2: make those versions available and installable.
