[ubuntu-20.04] Unable to install wine32:i386 / issues with i386 arch support in apt

[ethteck]

Description

We noticed in our project that somewhere in between 20211114.1 and 20211122.1, apt behavior changed when adding the i386 arch. We use this to install wine for running 32-bit processes. One of our tests is failing now because the version of wine installed is for 64-bit processes.

Additionally, you can see when you compare the two runs that the packages installed greatly differ despite being pretty much identical repo states (and identical runner scripts).

Virtual environments affected

• [ ] Ubuntu 18.04
• [X] Ubuntu 20.04
• [ ] macOS 10.15
• [ ] macOS 11
• [ ] Windows Server 2016
• [ ] Windows Server 2019
• [ ] Windows Server 2022

Image version and build link

https://github.com/decompme/decomp.me/runs/4321547477

Is it regression?

20211114.1

Expected behavior

Apt installs :i386 versions of things so the correct wine is installed

Actual behavior

Apt is not installing these

Repro steps

Create an ubuntu-latest action that runs

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt update
sudo apt install wine

And then attempt to execute a 32-bit windows executable

FWIW the following workaround works for me for Ubuntu 22.04 right now (2022-09-28):

sudo rm -f /etc/apt/sources.list.d/microsoft-prod.list
sudo apt-get update -qq
sudo apt-get remove -qq libmono* moby* mono* nginx* php* libgdiplus libpcre2-posix3 libzip4

It might not be (and probably is not) minimal, but it allows the build to proceed which is all I want now.

i got an error i have tried many methods to install it and i think i broke something

In my case: docker witch node, java, angular and electron this works - I left full dockerfile

FROM node:16.15.0

WORKDIR /work
COPY package.json .

RUN apt update
RUN apt-get -y install zip unzip

# node_modules witch angular and electron
RUN npm install -g n @angular/cli electron electron-builder

# JAVA
RUN apt-get -y install default-jre
RUN apt install openjdk-11-jre-headless 

# Wine (Wine32)
RUN apt install -y software-properties-common
RUN dpkg --add-architecture i386
RUN wget -nc https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key
RUN apt-key add winehq.key
RUN add-apt-repository 'deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/debian/ buster main'
RUN apt update
RUN apt -y install --install-recommends winehq-stable

EXPOSE 3002

Why is this issue closed? It was not solved and workarounds submitted by other users should not count as sufficient support for something we have to pay for...

[ValdikSS]

Current working solution for ubuntu-20.04 is:

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo dpkg -l | awk '/ii  lib.*deb.sury.org/ {gsub(/:.*/, s, $2); print $2}' | xargs apt show -a | awk '/Package:/ {p=$2} /APT-Sources: .*focal\/main/ {print p"/focal"}' | sudo xargs eatmydata apt install --allow-downgrades
sudo apt update
sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive eatmydata apt install -y --no-install-recommends wine-stable wine32

Saves 2 minutes compared to @burner1024 action.

Facing similar issues. Not sure where did break the system and during which upgrade. can't install wine32:i386. I am really tired trying different suggestions. None of them have worked till now. Pheww...

[gearcoded]

This worked for me to remove the PPA PHP packages and downgrade the conflicting dependencies:

sudo apt-add-repository -y ppa:ondrej/php
sudo apt-get install ppa-purge
sudo ppa-purge -y ppa:ondrej/php

Thanks a lot! After this, I was able to install both wine64 and wine32 from winehq. Now, I need to figure out how to install different php versions system wide.

[hajimehoshi]

I found a very similar issue with Ubuntu 22.

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gcc-multilib

This is weird since the above code worked without this error last week. What is the workaround for Ubuntu 22?

[falkTX]

GitHub updated the images and our old workarounds no longer work. My builds started failing without any changes on the CI workflow or code to build.

[gruve-p]

Same issue here, All work arounds are no longer working.

Current workaround: sudo rm -f /etc/apt/sources.list.d/microsoft-prod.list sudo apt-get update -qq sudo apt-get remove -qq libmono moby mono nginx php* libgdiplus libpcre2-posix3 libzip4

yep, I can confirm this problem has re-emerged for us as well. :(

[mboudreau]

I'm getting the same issues, has anyone figured out a workaround? Thanks.

[ValdikSS]

Current working solution for ubuntu-20.04 is:

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo dpkg -l | awk '/ii  lib.*deb.sury.org/ {gsub(/:.*/, s, $2); print $2}' | xargs apt show -a | awk '/Package:/ {p=$2} /APT-Sources: .*focal\/main/ {print p"/focal"}' | sudo xargs eatmydata apt install --allow-downgrades
sudo apt update
sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive eatmydata apt install -y --no-install-recommends wine-stable wine32

Saves 2 minutes compared to @burner1024 action.

My method still works, @mboudreau.

[mboudreau]

@ValdikSS Any solutions for ubuntu 22.04?

[ValdikSS]

@ValdikSS Any solutions for ubuntu 22.04?

Try this:

sudo eatmydata apt-get install ppa-purge
sudo eatmydata ppa-purge -y ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt update
sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive eatmydata apt install -y --no-install-recommends wine-stable wine32

[mboudreau]

That didn't fully work for me @ValdikSS (thanks btw), but the ppa-purge did fix many issues: wine did install, but I was still getting some issues while building (lack of dependencies and mono install).

These steps worked for me:

- run: sudo apt-get install ppa-purge && sudo ppa-purge -y ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test
# Install Wine
- run: sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
- run: sudo mkdir -pm755 /etc/apt/keyrings && sudo wget -O /etc/apt/keyrings/winehq-archive.key https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key
- run: sudo wget -NP /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/dists/jammy/winehq-jammy.sources
- run: sudo apt-get update
- run: sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-stable
# Install mono
- run: sudo mkdir -p /opt/wine/mono && sudo wget "https://dl.winehq.org/wine/wine-mono/8.0.0/wine-mono-8.0.0-x86.tar.xz" -P /opt/wine/mono && sudo tar -xf /opt/wine/mono/wine-mono-8.0.0-x86.tar.xz -C /opt/wine/mono && sudo rm /opt/wine/mono/wine-mono-8.0.0-x86.tar.xz

[falkTX]

I was able to get things working with this:

sudo rm -f /etc/apt/sources.list.d/microsoft-prod.list
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt-get update -qq
sudo apt-get install -yqq --allow-downgrades binutils-mingw-w64-x86-64 g++-mingw-w64-x86-64 libc6:i386 libgcc-s1:i386 libstdc++6:i386 mingw-w64 wine-stable

That installs both mingw and wine, handy for cross-compilation The trick is to use --allow-downgrades in combination with the basic libs libc6:i386 libgcc-s1:i386 libstdc++6:i386, then add the other stuff you need on the same line.

[ethteck]

Thanks @falkTX - for us, we don't need mingw, so I was able to remove the binutils / mingw stuff, and the solution became quite concise compared to what we were doing before. I also used wine instead of wine-stable - not sure if that makes any real difference other than maybe just which version is installed.

sudo rm -f /etc/apt/sources.list.d/microsoft-prod.list
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt-get update -qq
sudo apt-get install -yqq --allow-downgrades libc6:i386 libgcc-s1:i386 libstdc++6:i386 wine

Stay tuned for next time when things inevitably break out from under us again! 📺

[MdJeweleIslam]

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt update
sudo apt install wine32

Its working for me.
