Upgrading Wine


Hello.
Can anyone explain what to do when trying to update Wine, it shows the following:
----------------------------------------------
root@girts:/home/girts # apt-get install wine
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
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.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
wine: Depends: libxxf86dga1 but it is not installable
E: Broken packages
root@girts:/home/girts #
----------------------------------------------

I've added to sources.list these lines just for upgrading wine:
----------------------------------------------
deb http://wine.sourceforge.net/apt/ binary/
deb-src http://wine.sourceforge.net/apt/ source/
----------------------------------------------
but still it stops on that libxxf86dga1 thing.

Tried to install through synaptic, but same there:
----------------------------------------------
wine:
Depends: libxxf86dga1 but it is not installable
----------------------------------------------
What am i doing wrong?
thanks in advance!

you're probably not doing anything wrong. package managers don't work 100% of the time due to various things like in your case, a missing dependency package not in the repos. The only thing you can do is to find the libxxf86dga1 and install that manually and see if you can get wine updated.

from the initial search, this looks like an Xorg package. This could be an added package that you can download and build from Xorg.
