With 32bit etch debian, following an yesterday: #aptitude update (and upgrade) Daniel: As you migth remember, I got the error "failure of status 127" as on last June 10 (on that occasion following apt-get update and upgrade) At that time the remedy was: #apt-get remove libwine followed by #apt-get install libwine Now I prefer aptitude or dselect, so that yesterday #aptiture update (and upgrade), by which much of wine was modified (I did not take notice of) I got the same error 127, and applications did not launch. The remedy was: #aptiture remove libwine answering: Downgrading wine [0.9.12-1 testing now) -> 0.9.12~winehq1-1 (<NULL>) follwed by: libwine will be removed (bear in mind that I had from the beginning installed winetools). Without reinstalling libwine, now my two absolutely-necessary-for-my-work applications are working again. The font has changed but may be improved. That's to let you know. Finally, because of repeated failures in a few days, would it (with etch) be advisable to stop updating/upgrading wine for a while? It is a question of safety (for pepole like me who need wine for their daily work) not a criticism. Cheers francesco pietra
Re-sent to add that the warning is serious: had I used apt-get both yesterday and today, probably I had not revovered wine, because a reinstall today of libwine would have probably led to the same failure. ______________________ With 32bit etch debian, following an yesterday: #aptitude update (and upgrade) Daniel: As you migth remember, I got the error "failure of status 127" as on last June 10 (on that occasion following apt-get update and upgrade) At that time the remedy was: #apt-get remove libwine followed by #apt-get install libwine Now I prefer aptitude or dselect, so that yesterday #aptiture update (and upgrade), by which much of wine was modified (I did not take notice of) I got the same error 127, and applications did not launch.
