WINE wants to remove libdb5.3

Post by ee11ee11 »

Thought I'd give WINE a try. When clicking on "Install" in Software Manager an alert that WINE needs to remove libdb5.3 pops up so I did not install. What is libdb5.3 and why does WINE want to remove it?

Synaptic says libdb5.3 :
Berkeley v5.3 Database Libraries [runtime]
This is the runtime package for programs that use the v5.3 Berkeley
database library.
If I mark it for removal it wants to delete half the OS.

Try these, then try the wine install again

Code: Select all

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 
sudo apt-get update
Please edit your original post title to include [SOLVED] if/when it is solved!
Your data and OS are backed up....right?
