Wine 6.0.1, the open-source compatibility layer to run Windows apps on Linux, was released as the first point release in the 6.0 stable series.
The release contains mainly bug-fixes, translation updates, and Documentation updates. It also adds a new feature: supporting for wine64 on Apple M1.
A total of 63 bugs has been fixed in the release for the Windows apps or games including Dark Sector, Earth 2160, Shadow Warrior 2, The Elder Scrolls V, The Witcher 3, Adobe Audition 2020, World of Tanks, iTunes 12.11.0.26, and more. See the release note for details.
How to Install Wine 6.0.1 in Ubuntu:
Wine has its own apt repository for Ubuntu, Linux Mint based systems. Open terminal from system app launcher. When it opens, run following commands one by one.
1.) Run command to enable 32 bit architecture (if you don’t have it):
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
Type user password (no asterisk feedback) when it asks and hit Enter to continue.
2.) Install the repository key by running command:
wget -O - https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key | sudo apt-key add -
3.) Add wine repository
Note there’s A BLANK SPACE before the code name (e.g., focal, groovy, hirsute, bionic) in each command!
- For Ubuntu 20.04, Linux Mint 20.x, run command:
sudo apt-add-repository 'deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ focal main'
- For Ubuntu 20.10, run command:
sudo apt-add-repository 'deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ groovy main'
- For Ubuntu 18.04, run command:
sudo apt-add-repository 'deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ bionic main'
- For 21.04, run command:
sudo apt-add-repository 'deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ hirsute main'
Don’t know your system edition? Run lsb_release -a command in terminal to check out.
4.) For Ubuntu 18.04 and Linux Mint 19.x only, libfaudio0 library is required to install from a third-party repository by running command:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:cybermax-dexter/sdl2-backport
5.) Finally install Wine 6.0.1 via command:
sudo apt update && sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-stable
If you get unmet dependency issue, try aptitude command instead (DO check what it is going to install/uninstall before type y to confirm):
sudo apt install aptitude && sudo aptitude install winehq-stable
Still getting unmet dependency issue? Try running command to manually install some missing libraries. The command worked in my Ubuntu 20.04.
sudo apt-get install libgnutls30:i386 libldap-2.4-2:i386 libgpg-error0:i386 libxml2:i386 libasound2-plugins:i386 libsdl2-2.0-0:i386 libfreetype6:i386 libdbus-1-3:i386 libsqlite3-0:i386
Uninstall wine:
You may remove the PPA by launching Software & Updates utility and navigating to Other Software tab.
To remove wine 6.0.1, run command in terminal:
sudo apt remove --auto-remove winehq-stable
This is the error message I get when trying to add the ‘Hirsute’ repository.

Doesn’t work. Nothing works. It’s getting ridiculous. Follow everything exactly and it never works.
Hi, you seems to running Ubuntu 20.04 Focal, but it try to install Wine for Hirsute (ubuntu 21.04).
Search for and open Software & Updates utility. Then go to Other Software tab, highlight the line ‘https://dl.winehq.org …‘ and click on Edit button. Finally change ‘Distribution’ value from hirsute to focal.
Then refresh package cache via
sudo apt updatecommand, and finally try again.This one got it for me.
Thanks.
Thanks for your help. Solved my problem.
It doesn’t work on ubuntu 20.04
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
winehq-stable : Depends: wine-stable (= 6.0.1~focal-1)
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
I made the same error with Mint 20.2 and also unable seem to undue the 3 Hirsute dependencies back to Focal.
Thanks Man!
I ran the aptitude and it says:
(Reading database … 452956 files and directories currently installed.)
Removing libkf5filemetadata-bin:amd64 (5.68.0-0ubuntu1) …
Removing catdoc (1:0.95-4.1) …

Removing gnome-control-center (1:3.36.5-0ubuntu2) …
Removing colord (1.4.4-2) …
…
This looks really bad. Removing ubuntu-desktop. For now, everything is working. But I am not sure what happens after I reboot the system.
Well, I reinstalled ubuntu-desktop package before reboot (it was missing, and system started to act weird), and now it is working.
However, the problem is that aptitude is dangerous. It could really harm your system.
I have ubuntu 20.04. After the steps that you described to install wine 6.0.1,
wine –version
got the reply:
wine-6.0.2
I have a windows program called Gustav_42a_64Bit.exe that is most important for me and that worked perfectly with wine for ages (I think, more than two decades). On

(Before that, I tried wine 5.0. With that version, there was no error message but the program did not start. Just nothing happened. Trying wine 6.0 then led to the above.)
Sorry, I can’t help for this specific issue, you may ask at https://forum.winehq.org/. Though, as you said it was working good. I would suggest to open configuration via command:
Congratulations; worked fine for me. Of course I removed any prior attempts with purge, rm -rf to be sure I was starting with fresh install your solution.
Thank you,
