I'm running Ubuntu 11.04. I wanted to hold off upgrading to 11.10 until they
got some of the glitches fixed, but by coincidence (I guess) at the same time
11.10 became available the updater started listing what I presume is the upgrade
from 1.2.2 to 1.2.3. I can't tell, because I can't get my system to
install it. I keep getting the error message "Requires installation of
untrusted packages." Then in the detail section is lists:
"ttf-symgol-replacement-wine1.3 wine wine1.3 wine1.3-gecko
winetricks."
OK, two of the windows programs I had installed suddenly started working (Ares
and BitChe :P), and one game stopped working (Codename Panzers: Phase One
[Crying or Very sad]). I wasn't able to add new applications to winecfg.
When I checked the version number in the command line I kept getting 1.2.2. So I
decided to try uninstalling and reinstalling. I eventually got the pieces
uninstalled, although I had to restart to do it -- I guess some process was
running in the background -- but now I can't reinstall it. I keep getting
the same error message and the process stops.
Now I don't want to install wine 1.3. I was happy with 1.2, which winehq
calls the stable version. I'm not running a server here, but I don't
like spending my time fixing problems. I would like to install wine 1.2.3, but
my system won't let me. I've been trying to do it through the Ubuntu
Software Center because I don't know what package to specify on the command
line, and I don't even know if the command line will work. Can anyone help
me out here? I've also posted a request for help at Ubuntuforums.
