I am looking to install wine on my new Fedora 33 laptop. When doing 'dnf install wine' I am getting:
Since Fedora 33 hasn't been released yet, I expect someone will tell you this is the wrong list and in this case, they would be at least partly right. The downgrading issue should be raised on the test list. The rest is more suitable here.
A bunch of i686 packages that will be installed (I think this is normal), and a bunch of installed x86_64 packages to be downgraded (I believe to the version corresponding to the available i686 package).
The i686 packages are expected and necessary. The downgrading is not. Maybe there is a multiarch problem or something's out of sync.
1. How does multiarch work in Fedora? Do I need to do anything else besides just installing the wine package to get it to work?
It just works, not sure how much detail you're looking for. Installing wine should be all you need.
2. Why is it downgrading my packages? Will this create dependency issues (I have had bad experiences with this type of thing in Debian)? Can downgrading these packages have any other drawbacks?
If you're not seeing any dependency issue in the dnf transaction, then it's probably ok for now.
Can someone direct me to a good way to install a regular version of wine in F33? I have tried looking for info but have not found a lot.
What do you mean by a "regular" version that is different than the one provided in Fedora?
