package wine1.2 (not installed) failed to install/upgrade when both wine and wine1.2 are installed

Here is the error:

Selecting previously deselected package wine1.2.
dpkg: regarding .../wine1.2_1.1.42-0ubuntu4_amd64.deb containing wine1.2:
 wine1.2 conflicts with wine (<< 1.2)
  wine (version 1.1.42-0ubuntu4) is present and unpacked but not configured.
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/wine1.2_1.1.42-0ubuntu4_amd64.deb (--unpack):
 conflicting packages - not installing wine1.2

This is probably releated to
Package: wine1.2
Provides: wine
Conflicts: binfmt-support (<< 1.1.2), libwine, libwine-alsa, libwine-arts, libwine-capi, libwine-cms, libwine-esd, libwine-gl, libwine-gphoto2, libwine-jack, libwine-ldap, libwine-nas, libwine-print, libwine-sane, libwine-twain, ttf-tahoma-replacement, wine (<< 1.1.36-0ubuntu2), wine-doc, wine-utils, wine1.0, winesetuptk, xwine

Why is wine1.2 conflicting with wine << 1.2 in the log when the conflicts line is: wine (<< 1.1.36-0ubuntu2) ?

is there any workaround ?

Remove wine package and just install wine1.2

Thank you Scott Ritchie, that has worked successfully. :)

To anyone else reading this: I used the Synaptic Package manager to remove the broken package first. Then installed Wine 1.2

!Thanks you very much!

thanks

synaptic save my life too
because apt-get remove wine didn't worked

To help german users experiencing the same problem:
the error message there is "Kollidierende Pakete - installiere wine1.2 nicht"

I solved the problem by uninstall the temporary wine layer as was come with the distribution. After that I could install wine 1.2 without problem.

The install log in this bug says:

dpkg: regarding .../wine1.2_1.1.42-0ubuntu4_amd64.deb containing wine1.2:
 wine1.2 conflicts with wine (<< 1.2)

debian/control for the current Lucid package says:

libwine-ldap, libwine-nas, libwine-print, libwine-sane, libwine-twain, xwine, ttf-tahoma-replacement

So it looks to me like this upgrade was done off of a stale mirror. I can't replicate this with the final package.

That just deepens the mystery, since the current version of the package IS 1.1.42-0ubuntu4

but in karmic debian/control says

Just a blind guess, but would that mean that during an upgrade dpkg keep the older or the highest version of the conflicting package ?

Ah hah, that must be it. I suspected dpkg was getting the wrong conflicts information somewhere, and that must be it.

Also I'll note that there is no way to have both wine and wine1.2 installed in Karmic, so the modified title is wrong.

Something tells me people were using wine old self-hosted ppa or switched to the daily ppa. Cause I remember I had this issue when I upgraded to lucid during development. But I knew that I was using "upstream" self-hosted packages instead of karmic's wine.

That was my first impression too, but the packages in the log are the karmic version. Apport wouldn't have let the bug report through if they weren't official ubuntu packages anyway.

Also, the Karmic packages in the PPA are higher numbered than the ones available in Lucid, so they wouldn't upgrade at all (and thus not conflict)

Also seems to affect 8.04 to 10.04: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wine1.2/+bug/577214

Grazie a tutti coloro che mi hanno dato aiuto, ho risolto, adesso wine1.2 è ok!!! Grazie Community, a presto!

Some testing confirms how to reproduce this bug, and that it's actually an issue with apt:

On 9.10:

Install wine1.2 package. Then Install wine package. Apt will remove Wine1.2 (since they conflict) but leave the wine1.2 deb in the cache.

Upgrade to 10.04. This upgrades wine to the dummy package, which depends on wine1.2. Apt then tries to install the Karmic wine1.2 from the cache, which still conflicts with wine, and it then panics and gives up. Apt should instead first try to upgrade wine1.2 to the lucid wine1.2, which doesn't conflict with the new wine.

We can probably work around this by releasing an SRU for Lucid wine1.2 that has the wine dummy package depend on a wine1.2 newer than the one in Karmic.

This bug was fixed in the package wine1.2 - 1.1.42-0ubuntu5

---------------
wine1.2 (1.1.42-0ubuntu5) maverick; urgency=low

  * debian/control: adjust conflicts and have wine require a newer wine1.2
    - should prevent upgrade failures (LP: #571999)
    - should make wine-dev installable (LP: #578127)
  * et translation for menu items (LP: #386125)

I added a workaround for update-manager that I will upload to proposed shortly.

I modified the test case in the op a bit, as I think it's important to have Karmic's wine1.2 .deb in the cache.

Accepted update-manager into lucid-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

Thank you I will try it again thank you.

Successfully verified both the original issue (steps

(sorry, click happy)

Successfully confirmed both the original issue after following steps 1-5 and that the -proposed update fixes the issue by verifying steps 6-9.

I have reproduced the problem with update-manager 1:0.134.8 and have verified that the version of update-manager in proposed, 1:0.134.9, fixes the issue. I do not see any regressions when performing upgrades or updating packages with the version of update-manager in -proposed.

Marking verification-done.

There is one thing I don't like about how this update is handled and that is that after the upgrade, the system won't have either version of wine installed; to get wine working again, the user/admin will need to install the wine1.2 package.

This bug was fixed in the package update-manager - 1:0.134.9

---------------
update-manager (1:0.134.9) lucid-proposed; urgency=low

  * DistUpgrade/DistUpgrade.cfg:
    - add ubuntu-netbook-remix and ubuntu-netbook to valid
      meta-packages to ensure clean transition for the rename
      of ubuntu-netbook-remix to ubuntu-netbook (LP: #574279)
  * DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeCache.py:
    - Check if the metapkg is actually upgradable. This covers
      the case of ubuntu-netbook-remix that may no longer be
      available to a user if "universe" is disabled (LP: #574279)
  * DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeQuirks.py:
    - Add workaround for nm-applet dying during the upgrade. At
      the start up of the update we take it down in a controlled
      way (LP: #456468)
    - add workaround for wine upgrade failure (LP: #571999)
    - help the upgrade if both ubuntu-desktop and xubuntu-desktop
      are installed (LP: #571743)

This was never an apt bug; the log shows:

 Selecting previously deselected package wine1.2.
 dpkg: regarding .../wine1.2_1.1.42-0ubuntu4_amd64.deb containing wine1.2:
  wine1.2 conflicts with wine (<< 1.2)
   wine (version 1.1.42-0ubuntu4) is present and unpacked but not configured.

That's an error message from dpkg rather than apt.

I suspect the bug has been fixed in the meantime, as it hasn't been reported with later versions of dpkg.

As wine 1.2 is an outdated release (no more used), and i can confirm that dpkg+wine+wine1.x is not conflicting (tested on PP/QQ/RR/SS) . So close that report.
