APT: could not configure libc6:i386 when installing WINE

frozenMustelid commented 4 years ago

I got two error messages from apt when I installed WINE and PlayOnLinux. The first says "E: Could not configure libc6:i386" and the second says "Could not perform immediate configuration on libgcc-s1:i386. Please see man 5 apt.conf under APT::Immediate-Configure for details. (2)"

I don't know what this means but WINE seemed to run fine anyways. I tried the GOG version of Hitman - Codename 47 (file informed me that it was a 32-bit Windows executable) and it ran about like I expected, though I will admit that I have never played this game before. It was installed through the POL script for this game, which includes downloading Wine 3.0.3.

The only problem I noticed was that Mint really hates the resolution of this game, but 4:3 fullscreen WINE programs being run on a 16:9 monitor has caused problems for Mint ever since Mint 18. It ran fine when I told WINE to emulate a virtual desktop.

This worked just before QA. It looks like some packages are now missing in the Ubuntu 20.04 repositories.

Still happening. It doesn't really seem to affect anything though. I'll close since it's upstream.
