E: Broken packages
i have the same problem. can anyone help us?
Same problem here, cannot find how to fix it either.
Someone said:
The packages that ‘are not installable’ are in the multiverse and universe repository, but apparently you have enabled main and restricted only.
If you adapt your package sources that should work.
So am trying to sort that out, yes I am a newbe
Just enable both multiverse and universe sources.. i had that same problem and enabling them allowed me to install wine.
