Hello all, I am fairly new to Linux, so I hope that the following problem is not just me being ... new to Linux. I have been trying to install Wine on Debian (Etch 4.09 I think it is called). I first tried to use the apt-get install Wine command followed by the winecfg (creating the .wine folder), but when I tried to run the notepad.exe (i.e. with the command wine /home/thomas/.wine/drive_c/windows/notepad.exe) I get the error message "module not found" (error number126) I tried then to follow the tutorial on the blog: TuxArena: Running Google Chrome Under Wine 1.1.6 in Debian (http://tuxarena.blogspot.com/2008/10/running-google-chrome-under-wine-116-in.html) But then "apt-get update" gives me this Code: debian-502:/home/thomas# sudo apt-get update Ign cdrom://[Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 r4a _Etch_ - Official i386 NETINST Binary-1 20080804-15:10] etch Release.gpg Ign cdrom://[Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 r4a _Etch_ - Official i386 NETINST Binary-1 20080804-15:10] etch Release Ign cdrom://[Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 r4a _Etch_ - Official i386 NETINST Binary-1 20080804-15:10] etch/contrib Packages/DiffIndex Ign cdrom://[Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 r4a _Etch_ - Official i386 NETINST Binary-1 20080804-15:10] etch/main Packages/DiffIndex Get:1 http://ftp.us.debian.org etch Release.gpg [386B] Hit http://ftp.us.debian.org etch Release Get:2 http://wine.budgetdedicated.com hardy Release.gpg [191B] Get:3 http://security.debian.org etch/updates Release.gpg [189B] Ign http://ftp.us.debian.org etch/main Packages/DiffIndex Hit http://wine.budgetdedicated.com hardy Release Ign http://ftp.us.debian.org etch/main Sources/DiffIndex Hit http://security.debian.org etch/updates Release Hit http://ftp.us.debian.org etch/main Packages Ign http://wine.budgetdedicated.com hardy/main Packages/DiffIndex Hit http://ftp.us.debian.org etch/main Sources Ign http://security.debian.org etch/updates/main Packages/DiffIndex Ign http://wine.budgetdedicated.com hardy/main Sources/DiffIndex Ign http://wine.budgetdedicated.com hardy/main Packages/DiffIndex Ign http://security.debian.org etch/updates/contrib Packages/DiffIndex Ign http://security.debian.org etch/updates/main Sources/DiffIndex Ign http://security.debian.org etch/updates/contrib Sources/DiffIndex Ign http://wine.budgetdedicated.com hardy/main Packages Hit http://security.debian.org etch/updates/main Packages Hit http://security.debian.org etch/updates/contrib Packages Hit http://wine.budgetdedicated.com hardy/main Sources Hit http://security.debian.org etch/updates/main Sources Ign http://wine.budgetdedicated.com hardy/main Packages Hit http://security.debian.org etch/updates/contrib Sources Get:4 http://wine.budgetdedicated.com hardy/main Packages [1092B] 99% [4 Packages gzip 0] [Waiting for headers] gzip: stdin: not in gzip format Err http://wine.budgetdedicated.com hardy/main Packages Sub-process gzip returned an error code (1) Get:5 http://wine.budgetdedicated.com hardy/main Packages [1092B] 99% [5 Packages gzip 0] gzip: stdin: not in gzip format Err http://wine.budgetdedicated.com hardy/main Packages Sub-process gzip returned an error code (1) Fetched 5B in 1s (4B/s) Failed to fetch http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/dists/hardy/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz Sub-process gzip returned an error code (1) Failed to fetch http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/dists/hardy/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz Sub-process gzip returned an error code (1) Reading package lists... Done E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead. I then tried to install wine anyway (using apt-get install wine) and I got: Code: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... 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. 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 What am I to do?
