wine users - Aug 2009 - Installation problem on Debian Lenny (libfontconfig).

On Debian Lenny 5.0.2 with standard distros:


Code:
debian# cat /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian lenny main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main contrib
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main contrib
deb http://volatile.debian.org/debian-volatile lenny/volatile main contrib
deb-src http://volatile.debian.org/debian-volatile lenny/volatile main contrib



In standard distros I found only wine 1.0.1.
According "Wine for Debian Lenny, Squeeze and Sid":


Code:
debian# apt-get remove libwine wine
debian# echo "deb http://www.lamaresh.net/apt lenny main" >>
/etc/apt/sources.list
debian# wget -O - http://www.lamaresh.net/apt/key.gpg | apt-key add -
debian# apt-get update && apt-get install wine

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... 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.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  wine: Depends: libfontconfig but it is not installable
E: Broken packages

debian# dpkg --list | grep libfontconfig
ii  libfontconfig1                       2.6.0-3                    generic font
configuration library - runtime



I see that many people are faced with that problem, but there is no solution
yet.
I have the same error during installation from .deb package.

Problem can be solved by either recompiling the wine deb package from winehq.org
or either make a quick hack on the libfontconfig1 source

by adding 

Provides: libfontconfig 

inside debian/control  in the lines for libfontconfig1 and then recompiling the
package to generate a new deb.
Please refer to debian documentation on how to do that and what commands supply.
Even if i was able to install the newer wine package by doing so atm my
accelleration in wine is disabled but i still haven't tested to see if
it's a problem related to a big change between libfontconfig and
libfontconfig1 or it's a problem related to my xorg.
