Wine on Debian

Hello all,

I have Debian installed on my computer and have been trying to get Wine to work. When I try to open the notepad program I get the error that :module not found". I have tried searching with google and realized that other people have had the same error, but I still haven't figured it out.

I have installed it using the "apt-get install wine" command. I did "winecfg" after that so that I now have a .wine folder in my home directory. I tried to run notepad with the full path

Code:
wine /home/thomas/.wine/drive_c/windows/notepad.exe
But I get the error:
Code:
Invoking /usr/lib/wine/wine.bin /home/thomas/.wine/drive_c/windows/notepad.exe ...
wine: could not load L"C:\\windows\\notepad.exe": Module not found
Wine failed with return code 126
Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion
Warning: Unable to load any usable fontset
/usr/bin/wine: line 529:  8434 Terminated              $XMESSAGE -timeout 30 -buttons "    Dismiss    ":0," Never display this message again ":3 -title "Wine Launch Window" -default "    Dismiss    " "Invoking $WINEBIN/$WINE_BIN_NAME $@ ...

        This dialog box is a temporary status dialog to let you know
        that Wine is attempting to launch your application.

        Since Wine is still very much in a development stage,
        many applications will fail silently.
        This dialog box is your indication
        that we're *trying* to run your application.

        This dialog box will automatically disappear after 30 seconds,
        or after your application finishes.

        You can permanently disable this dialog by selecting
        the option below.
        " 2>/dev/null
Deleting /tmp/wine.log.LL8435
The version is 0.9.25 but I think that the current stable version is 1.0.1. Google told me that I might just need to install the newest version of wine, but how to I do that? (I have not been able to find the .deb package/file for it)

Thanks,
Thomas

This tutorial is for installing Google Chrome using Wine 1.1.6 in Debian. You can use the tutorial for just installing Wine 1.16.

Thank you for the reply

I tried to follow the tutorial, but when I run the command 'apt-get update' I get some errors:

I tried to install wine anyway, but then I get the error:

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: libasound2 (> 1.0.14) but 1.0.13-2 is to be installed
        Depends: libc6 (>= 2.4) but 2.3.6.ds1-13etch7 is to be installed
        Depends: libgphoto2-2 (>= 2.4.0) but 2.2.1-16 is to be installed
        Depends: libgphoto2-port0 (>= 2.4.0) but 2.2.1-16 is to be installed
        Depends: libldap-2.4-2 (>= 2.4.7) but it is not installable
        Depends: libxslt1.1 (>= 1.1.20) but 1.1.19-3 is to be installed
        PreDepends: dpkg (>= 1.14.12ubuntu3) but 1.13.25 is to be installed
E: Broken packages

I would leave this as a comment on the above links blog and see if he will respond . You could also file it with WineHQ Forums Index and with Bugzilla Main Page . I would also browse through this first FAQ - The Official Wine Wiki to see if this has happened before.

I don't understand how you got a duplicate sources error. Posting these 2 quotes in WineHQ Forums Index might straighten this out.
