i want wine5 on a brand new debian 10.5 system,

i followed the instructions here https://wiki.winehq.org/Debian ,

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386;
wget -nc https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key -O- | sudo apt-key add - ;
printf "\n#wine\ndeb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/debian/ buster main\n" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list ;
sudo apt update;

no errors, everything went smoothly,

then on the very last step:

root@debgamer:/home/hans# sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-stable;

Quoting from your link:

The WineHQ packages for Debian 10 and later require libfaudio0 as a dependency. Since the distro does not provide it for Debian 10, users of that version can download libfaudio0 packages from the OBS. See https://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=32192 for details.

Libfaudio0 might be the dependency you are missing.

  • huh, the people in the forum suggest adding an OpenSUSE repo in Debian, that doesn't really sound particularly safe, Debian and OpenSUSE are quite different distros :o

  • That advice was only in case of conflicts. You should prefer the Debian 10 repository link in the article.
