"Unmet dependencies" after linuxmmint 19 to 19.1 upgrade <SOLVED>

[artik]

Hi, since the upgrade of Linuxmint 19 to 19.1, I'm facing an issue. When I try to install winehq-staging, I have this error message:

Code: Select all

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 winehq-staging : Depends: wine-staging (= 4.0~rc2~cosmic)
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I tried to remove all keys/repository, and from stratch:

Code: Select all

wget -nc https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key
sudo apt-key add winehq.key
sudo apt-add-repository 'deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ bionic main'
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install --install-recommends winehq-staging

But same result. then I tried using aptitude:

Code: Select all

sudo aptitude -f install winehq-staging

Code: Select all

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 wine-staging-i386:i386 : Depends: libavcodec58:i386 (>= 7:4.0) which is a virtual package and is not provided by any available package

                          Depends: libavutil56:i386 (>= 7:4.0) which is a virtual package and is not provided by any available package

                          Depends: libc6:i386 (>= 2.28) but 2.27-3ubuntu1 is installed
                          Depends: libvkd3d1:i386 which is a virtual package and is not provided by any available package

 wine-staging-amd64 : Depends: libavcodec58 (>= 7:4.0) which is a virtual package and is not provided by any available package

                      Depends: libavutil56 (>= 7:4.0) which is a virtual package and is not provided by any available package

                      Depends: libvkd3d1 which is a virtual package and is not provided by any available package

The following actions will resolve these dependencies:

     Keep the following packages at their current version:
1)     wine-staging [Not Installed]                       
2)     wine-staging-amd64 [Not Installed]                 
3)     wine-staging-i386:i386 [Not Installed]             
4)     winehq-staging [Not Installed]

I also tried to install wine-staging:

Code: Select all

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 wine-staging : Depends: wine-staging-amd64 (= 4.0~rc2~cosmic) but it is not going to be installed
                Depends: wine-staging-i386 (= 4.0~rc2~cosmic)

sudo apt-get install wine-staging-amd64 :

                      Depends: libvkd3d1 but it is not installable

I tried to clean all cache, etc etc:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get autoclean && apt-get clear cache
sudo dpkg –configure -a
sudo apt-get install -f
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

and to change the repository source, trying another one, same result.

Code: Select all

"cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/official-package-repositories.list" returns:

All help is welcome

Another member looks to also have such errors about libavcodec packages after adding wine repository: viewtopic.php?f=90&t=283958. Just linking the topics.

gm10 made this recommendation on another topic about the same issue: viewtopic.php?f=47&t=283950&p=1568803#p1568803

[gm10]

You added the wrong repository, that wine version you are trying to install is incompatible with LM19, it was created for Ubuntu 18.10. Remove what you added and do it right this time, or just go with the version from the official Mint repos.

Take note of my post in viewtopic.php?f=47&t=283950 though, it seems winehq-staging has bad packaging, anyway.

I forgot to mentioned that I tried the repository cosmic:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-add-repository 'deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ cosmic main'

I updated/upgraded my cache, same error:

Code: Select all

apt install winehq-staging --install-recommends

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 winehq-staging : Depends: wine-staging (= 4.0~rc2~cosmic)
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I tried

Code: Select all

apt install winehq-staging libavcodec-extra57:i386 --install-recommends

Same error. So I tried only the libavcodec-extra57:i386

Code: Select all

apt install libavcodec-extra57:i386 --install-recommends

It installed many things, then tried again wine-staging, same error.

I forgot to mentioned that I tried the repository cosmic:

I won't stand in the way of you breaking your system but LM19 is based on bionic so that's what you got to install.

If you added the "cosmic" repository, you can change this by going to:

Code: Select all

cd /etc/apt/sources.list.d
sudo nano additional-repositories.list

and if you see this line:

Code: Select all

deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ cosmic main

change it to:

Code: Select all

deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ bionic main

Then sudo apt update.... and see if the installation works

Found it... and fixed! thanks alicuk, you pointed the issue.

Code: Select all

cd /etc/apt/sources.list.d

edited the file

Code: Select all

sudo subl additional-repositories.list

I removed the line:

Code: Select all

deb https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Emulators:/Wine:/Debian/Ubuntu_18.10_standard ./

then normal procedure:

Code: Select all

wget -nc https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key
sudo apt-key add winehq.key
sudo apt-add-repository 'deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ bionic main'
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install --install-recommends winehq-staging

and fixed!

Thanks all for help
