debian 8.1 won't install wine-devel due to unmet dependencies


Background: I need to be able to run TomTom Home in order to update the TomTom XL navigator. I used to use my wife's Win 7 machine, but Win 7 died with unrecoverable errors. It didn't take much persuasion to convince my wife to switch to linux (in her case Ubuntu 16.04). TomTom Home doesn't have a Lunux version, however. I find that a bit rude, but that's unfortunately the way it is.

The logical solution, when you don't have a Win machine, is to try installing the required software with wine. I'm not too keen to dabble with the Ubuntu O/S if I can avoid it. So I'd like to do this with Debian Jessie 8.6 (that's what I use on my laptop). Using the stable packages I get wine 1.6.20. This allows TomTom Home to install, but it won't run. It just results in a meaningless "An error occurred" message.

So I checked the WineHQ Site and found that TTH will run OK (bronze rating) with wine 1.7.42 or better.

After scouring some forums I somewhat naiively added two new files to my /etc/apt/sources.list.d:
Code:
:/etc/apt/sources.list.d$ cat wine.list.jessie 
deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/debian/ jessie main

:/etc/apt/sources.list.d$ cat wine.list.stretch 
deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/debian/ stretch main
After firing up synaptic I noticed that the wine version had not changed. However, there were now a number of winehq packages like wine-devel 2.0-rc2-stretch. These are development versions and not the latest stable release, as I understand it. But the latest stable release is not listed under Synaptic.

Working on the assumption that the development package might just be what I need, I tried installing it. That is when I get unmet dependencies. In this case I used aptitude, because it gives slightly better diagnostic messages:
Code:
:/etc/apt/sources.list.d$ aptitude install wine-devel
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  libcapi20-3{a} libcapi20-3:i386{a} libexif12:i386{a} libgd3:i386{a} libgphoto2-6:i386{a} libgphoto2-port10:i386{a} 
  libgphoto2-port12{a} libgphoto2-port12:i386{a} libieee1284-3:i386{a} libltdl7:i386{a} libodbc1:i386{a} libosmesa6{a} 
  libosmesa6:i386{a} libpcap0.8:i386{a} libsane:i386{a} libsane-extras:i386{a} libusb-1.0-0:i386{a} libv4l-0:i386{a} 
  libv4lconvert0:i386{a} libxcomposite1:i386{a} libxinerama1:i386{a} libxpm4:i386{a} libxrandr2:i386{a} libxslt1.1:i386{a} wine-devel 
  wine-devel-amd64{ab} wine-devel-i386:i386{ab} 
0 packages upgraded, 27 newly installed, 0 to remove and 67 not upgraded.
Need to get 47.5 MB of archives. After unpacking 398 MB will be used.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 wine-devel-i386:i386 : Depends: libc6:i386 (>= 2.23) but 2.19-18+deb8u6 is installed.
                        Depends: libgphoto2-6:i386 (>= 2.5.10) but 2.5.4-1.1+b2 is to be installed.
 wine-devel-amd64 : Depends: libc6 (>= 2.23) but 2.19-18+deb8u6 is installed.
                    Depends: libgphoto2-6 (>= 2.5.10) but 2.5.4-1.1+b2 is installed.
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:

     Keep the following packages at their current version:
1)     wine-devel [Not Installed]                         
2)     wine-devel-amd64 [Not Installed]                   
3)     wine-devel-i386:i386 [Not Installed]
The suggestion from aptitude as to how this might be resolved is less than helpful.

I'm not at all sure that I'm going the right way about this. Can anybody set me straight? I really do need to update the navigator soon and wineseems to be my only option.

Code:
:/etc/apt/sources.list.d$ cat wine.list.jessie 
deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/debian/ jessie main

:/etc/apt/sources.list.d$ cat wine.list.stretch 
deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/debian/ stretch main
You are running Debian "Jessie" so the packages from Debian "Stretch" repository are not compatible with your system. You should probably delete /etc/apt/sources.list.d/wine.list.stretch immediately.

However, there may be a better way! (I haven't tried it personally, I'm not a Debian user, but I trust their wiki.)

https://wiki.debian.org/Wine

According to the wiki:

Quote:
Since Debian Jessie you can choose between two sets of Wine packages: wine and wine-development.

wine tracks the stable releases from winehq.org (e.g. version 1.6.2), and wine-development the development releases (e.g. version 1.7.29).

Despite its name wine-development is also intended to be used by regular users. Do not mix this up with the *-dev packages which contain the header files and development libraries.

You can either install both sets at the same time, or only one of them.
It may be that 1.7.29 is new enough for "tom tom" to run as Bronze status (i.e. the app will run, but not all features will work). If you need newer still, then you can use "jessie-backports" repository to get even newer (1.8.5 or thereabouts at the time of this writing). The packages are called 'wine32' (32-bit version) or 'wine64' (64-bit version).

'wine-devel' isn't what you need at all, so don't waste your time (or risk your system's stability) installing it.

Thanks for the response, snowpine.

I did as you suggested and removed the directory /etc/apt/sources.list.d. Thereafter I checked the status in synaptic. Sure enough There promptly appeared a new wine-development 1.7.29 package. All the stretch packages have disappeared (as one would expect). The wine package itself had the same old version number. I installed the new package, which also caused wine64-development 1.7.29 to be installed (amongst others), without installing the wine package. But it hasn't helped. In fact I cannot run, reinstall, or uninstall TomTom Home 2. When I try the wait symbol (I call it the washing machine) rotates away for a bout 15 seconds and then... nothing happens.

Checking in /var/log/syslog only revealed one relevant message:
Code:
Dec 26 19:43:03 ascomtux /etc/gdm3/Xsession[2179]: env: wine: No such file or directory
This suggests that I need the base wine package as well, but I'm not going to experiment any further tonight.

I do have jessie backports in my sources.list, so there should be some way to get an even newer version if I understand you correctly. Firstly, I will check out the link you sent and see if that tells me anything new.

I'll post the results of any further attempts... whether they succeed or not.

No no no no no! I hope you did not delete the entire folder /etc/apt/sources.list.d !!

It was only the one file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/wine.list.stretch that was incompatible with your Jessie system.

I apologize if my advice was confusing or misleading. Do you have backups? Or do you remember what else was in that folder?

I'm the one who should apologise.

Sorry, apparently I was more tired than I realised when I wrote that. deleting /etc/apt/sources.list.d would, of course, be nonsense. I did a copy/paste when I wrote that and didn't look too closely at what I was copying. Really, I'm very sorry to have caused you so much bother. I only deleted the file wine.list.stretch as you recommended.

I have to work some long hours this week and, therefore, I won't have time before the weekend to really tinker any further with the problem. I'll report back when I've tried some other combinations. Again, I'm really sorry about that.

How embarrassing!

That is a relief.

Wine 1.7.29 doesn't work either

It wasn't initially clear to me why trying to open TTH with wine wasn't doing anything. After checking some configuration files and looking at the command that was executed when TTH was run, it was obvious that a nonexistent wine was being run, and not the wine-development script. I changed that and tried reinstalling TTH. The installation ran as before, but when the app was launched the same meaningless error message as before appeared. This time I had first initiated a trace on /var/log/syslog which revealed the following:

The backtrace data from the error shows something very similar. I've placed that in the attached text file. I'm not entirely sure, but it would seem to suggest, that I do need a newer version of wine than the 1.7.29 that I get from wine-development. The link that snowpine sent suggests using a 1.9.x version available from jessie-backports. Since I've already got that repository in my sources.list, I'll have to figure out how to install it, since synaptic doesn't show it. It will probably require using apt-get or apptitude.

I've run out of time for this weekend, but I might find time to try a few things in a day or two. Time to sleep before I do something silly again.

If anybody is hanging out for a solution to the problem, because they've got Win software they can't get running on their Linux machine, I can only tell you to be patient. Or maybe you can figure it out first and tell me how to do it...

I believe that the wine packages from Jessie Backports repository are called 'wine32' (32-bit version) or 'wine64' (64-bit version).

Backports cause broken packages?

I'm really sorry it has taken me so long to get back to this problem. Two weeks ago I decided to make a concerted effort.

The wine64 command isn't required, after all. Apparently wine figures out for itself which version is required. Both wine and win64 packages installed on my machine.

I read up on how to install backport versions of packages in the Debian Admin Handbook. Here's what happened:
Code:
root@ascomtux:/etc/apt/sources.list.d# apt-get upgrade -t jessie-backports wine
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Calculating upgrade... Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libegl1-mesa-drivers : Depends: libglapi-mesa (= 10.3.2-1+deb8u1) but 12.0.4-2~bpo8+1 is to be installed
 libgl1-mesa-glx : Depends: libglapi-mesa (= 10.3.2-1+deb8u1) but 12.0.4-2~bpo8+1 is to be installed
 libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 : Depends: libglapi-mesa:i386 (= 10.3.2-1+deb8u1) but 12.0.4-2~bpo8+1 is to be installed
E: Broken packages
That last message made my stomach turn. The last time I had something like that, it took weeks of working at it night after night. Back then I was living in hotels Mon - Fri so it wasn't so bad. Nowadays I don't have that sort of free time. Needles to say, I was fairly depressed about it.

Still, it would seem that there aren't any broken packages yet, just that the intended upgrade would cause them. I've done updates since and there's nothing amiss. Synaptic also doesn't show anything broken.

If I read those messages correctly, then I have three packages that have version 10.3.2-1-deb8u1. Each of these would need to be replaced with a newer version (12.0.4-2~bpo8+1), which would be obtained from jessie/backports. I could do that manually, I guess by upgrading the packages individually. If I use the apt-get -f option I should get the same result... but I'm not certain.

If nobody replies with admonitions like "Don't do it!" I'll give it a go this week, assuming I find the time.

I'll post again when I've taken the leap and installed the stuff. Hopefully nothing will break.

I'm not an expert on unravelling dependencies but I have a few notes:

(i) Check your list of existing repos before anything else (inxi -r is a useful command to list all your repos if you have inxi installed) and always run apt-get update before any other apt or apt-get command. I'm sorry that this is obvious but I should include it for anyone else reading.

(ii) Your upgrade command doesn't do what you think it does. apt-get upgrade always upgrades all packages that need upgrading (unless they're held back) - you can't use it to upgrade a single package. If you want to do that, use apt-get install package - if there is a newer version available in the repos then you will be prompted to upgrade to that version.

(iii) You should possibly throw an apt-get check at your current system to see if there are any existing dependency problems.

(iv) For most apt-get commands, you can include an -s option to run the command as a simulation - it will show you what would be changed if the command were to run but won't actually do it. Can prove pretty useful.

What's your apt-get sources.list look like? Here's mine without backports.

Code:
deb http://security.debian.org           jessie/updates  main contrib non-free
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian   jessie          main contrib non-free

The problem could be as simple as your system is not up to date. I'd be curious to know the output of:

Code:
apt-get update
apt-get -s dist-upgrade
The -s flag stands for "simulate" so it won't make any changes to your system. If you are satisfied with the output (and do feel free to post it here, if you want a second set of eyes), then you can proceed with the changes by running the command again without the -s:

Code:
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade

That's my first thought assuming it actually is still 8.1 (and not upgraded to 8.whateveriscurrent).

@hydrurga:
  1. Thanks for the tip about inxi. I wasn't aware of it. Of course you are right - I did do an update first (with synaptic as it happens) and that's good advice for others.
  2. Oooops! guess I wasn't concentrating when I did that. Thanks for pointing out my blunder. I meant to do an install. Good thing that it didn't work, I guess.
  3. Dependency problems are shown when you do the update anyway, and no changes result. However, thanks for telling me about apt-get check.
  4. The simulation option is one I sort of knew about, but somehow forget every time I do this sort of thing (like once in blue moon). Thanks for the reminder.

@Shadow_7:
My sources.list is a bit different, since I use extra files in sources.list.d depending on what 3rd party external packages I'm currently using.
sources.list:
Code:
deb http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib

deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free

In sources.list.d I currently only have one active list -

An unsatisfying solution

I've finally found the time to get back to the TomTom problem. I checked my debian admin handbook to make sure I was doing it right (for a change) and did the following:
Code:
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get dist-upgrade
apt-get --reinstall -install -t jessie-backports wine64-development
apt-get --reinstall -install -t jessie-backports wine-development
This all worked as expected and subsequently I was able to reinstall TomTom Home and start it.

I then connected my TomTom XL. The software failed to detect the device. I have it installed with the option to start TomTom Home as soon as the device is connected, so I tried it that way, but TomTom Home did not start when I connected the TomTom XL. This is apparently the current state of the wine software. I checked the Wine Application DB (you need to register) and nobody seems to have achieved device detection.

I wonder if there is some way to force TomTom Home to recognise the device? My system certainly does. Checking /var/log/syslog revealed:
Code:
