Bug ID: 47797
           Summary: installing a specific version of wine
           Product: Packaging
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-packages
          Assignee: [e-mail]

      Distribution: ---

While I am able to install latest wine successfully:
> apt-get install -y winehq-stable

I'd like to be able to pin the version in my setup scripts.  For example, this
used to work:
> apt-get install -y winehq-stable=4.0~xenial

but recently it stopped working with
> The following packages have unmet dependencies:
>  winehq-stable : Depends: wine-stable (= 4.0~xenial)

While I can update my pin to 4.0.2, I think it will just break again when the
next version comes out.

The other versions seem to be available, although none of them work except the
latest:
> apt-cache madison winehq-stable
> winehq-stable | 4.0.2~xenial | https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu xenial/main amd64 Packages
> winehq-stable | 4.0.1~xenial | https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu xenial/main amd64 Packages
> winehq-stable | 4.0~xenial | https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu xenial/main amd64 Packages
> ...

We should really be able to install any of the versions that are in the repo.

--- Comment #1 from Rosanne DiMesio  ---
The winehq-<branch> packages are metapackages that pull in the actual Wine
packages and create symlinks. The answer you got to your forum post about this
question is correct. In order to force your package manager to install an older
version of Wine you have to specify all the involved packages in the command
line, not just winehq-stable:

apt-get install -y winehq-stable=4.0~xenial wine-stable=4.0~xenial
wine-stable-amd64=4.0~xenial wine-stable-i386=4.0~xenial
