I'm trying to install Wine on Debian Squeeze x86_64 but I cannot seem to get it to work. I added the repository to my sources.list but I was faced with this when I tried to install:
Code:
ashton@hubble:~$ sudo apt-get install wine

E: Broken packages
Have you installed the ia32-libs package, necessary to have 32bit libraries on your 64bit system?
Kind regards,
Eric
I thought I had, but just to double check I did the following:
Code:
ashton@hubble:~$ sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
[sudo] password for ashton:

Is that anything meaningful? I had the same trouble when I (unsuccessfully) tried to get Skype working a while ago. I think I may have broken something but I'm not competent enough to determine what exactly.
What is the output of cat /etc/apt/sources.list and cat /etc/debian_version.
sources.list
Code:
ashton@hubble:~$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list

They're in testing.
How you put it in without changing everything I don't know.
I tried install them:

You have to edit /etc/sources.list to include testing.
Only thing is when you change apt/sources.list, you will have apt-update.
There may be a lot of changes.

Which entry do I change to testing? Could I use backports?

Does this mean that when Squeeze goes to stable, I move to the new testing release? Or am I only installing packages that aren't in the Squeeze repo?
before you edit apt/sources do an update and see what happens, because I have debian squeeze and it shows the packages available on my comp. either "sudo aptitude update" or aptitude update"
Also make sure updates are turned on.

I installed some updates this morning, I did it again just now but none are available.
