#193997 — i386 game without wine32

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

I have a x86_64 archetecture on my Debian Stretch system... I am trying to
play a i386 pc game but when i try to install wine32 in the terminal i get
the following message.

josh@debian:/var/lib/dpkg$ sudo apt-get install wine32
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package wine32 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'wine32' has no installation candidate

&&

I looked up wine32 and found that there was a bug report filed and they
were getting the same output as i was. Here is the link "
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=767096"... I followed the
instructions and my output was:

josh@debian:/var/lib/dpkg$ sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 && apt-get
update && apt-get install wine32
Reading package lists... Done
W: chmod 0700 of directory /var/lib/apt/lists/partial failed -

E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (13: Permission

E: Unable to lock directory /var/lib/apt/lists/
W: Problem unlinking the file /var/cache/apt/pkgcache.bin - RemoveCaches

W: Problem unlinking the file /var/cache/apt/srcpkgcache.bin - RemoveCaches

josh@debian:~$ dpkg --add-architecture i386 && apt-get update && apt-get
install wine32
dpkg: error: unable to create new file '/var/lib/dpkg/arch-new': Permission
denied

&&

I also looked up the man page for i386 and it sent me to setarch man
page... So my question is "Can i make an environment that my cpu can read
that is i386 or i686 while maintaing a x86_64 bit operating sysetem for
everything else??"

This usually means that the i386 architecture is not enabled.

This is actually a series of three commands, with each one run only if
the previous one succeeds:

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

Since 'apt-get update' and 'apt-get install wine32' require root, but
only the dpkg command was run under sudo, the second command fails (and
the third doesn't even get run).

If you run each command under sudo separately (either one at a time, or
all on the same command line), you'll probably see this succeed.
