dependency problems upgrading wine
 
Hi guys,

I have just installed debian lenny and am trying to upgrade wine from wine1.1.13 to 1.1.27 but i am getting a dependency error.

wine:
Depends: libfontconfig but it is not installable
Recommends: msttcorefonts but it is not installable or
ttf-mscorefonts-installer but it is not installable

can anyone help as im lost...

you have to have testing or unstable repo's for the new wine to work I believe. I'm pretty sure you can add a sid repo (example):

deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ sid main contrib non-free

As long as you just install wine with that and then disable it and re-run update you should be fine. Testing might work too, so just replace sid with squeeze/testing and try that. I myself use squeeze/sid to get wine working and it works over here.
