Bug ID: 39812 Summary: Mention add-architecture in the installation guide https://www.winehq.org/download/ubuntu Product: WineHQ.org Version: unspecified Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: major Priority: P2 Component: www-unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: kopias.peter+winhq@gmail.com Distribution: ---
There are installation instructions on this page for ubuntu ppa setup:
https://www.winehq.org/download/ubuntu
If someone uses a pure 64bit ubuntu, the command:
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
is required before wine installation could work.
If you leave this step out, apt will complain when installing wine, that wine1.7 depends on wine1.7-i386 but thats uninstallable...
This page is about resolving an another problem, but the first step mentions this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/697648/how-to-fix-installation-wine-on-ubuntu...
I believe the installation instructions should be clear on this step, as wine do depend on this setting, so it should be mentioned both on the gui and the cli part.
Best wishes!
