So I got EAGLE running on the new workstation, by the simple expedient of copying the two outdated libraries over from the old workstation. That, at least, is taken care of. VariCAD, being currently-maintained native-Linux software, installed without issues.
That leaves the problem of wine32
, or rather libwine:i386
, which I need to get DipTrace (and presumably Circuit Studio) running. Looks, basically, like the dependencies for some (many) of the i386-architecture libraries are FUBAR. Looking, once again, on the 'Net, I find this, which seems to suggest that I messed everything (with regard to multiarch) up by pulling in a bunch of updates from backports
, which repository I'd mainly included to get some approximation of current KiCad.
So... guess I either revisit backports
and try to get all the not-yet-installed i386 libraries up to the very latest... or I revert to strict Buster (possibly by starting over with a fresh install?) and only install from backports
what I really need.
Update:
sudo apt-get -t buster-backports install wine32
Installs all the necessary stuff from backports
, keeping everything in sync. Then, it turned out to be necessary to do
rm -r ~/.wine
to get rid of some corrupted stuff. Now DipTrace installs, and the launcher launches, but none of the actual working applications (schematic editor, etc.) are working, probably because my WINE configuration is still/again messed up, perhaps with regard to the display. I may need to remove the .wine
directory again and start over, running the installer from some helpful WINE-application-installer-runner.
