In principle, wine is not a forked package in Devuan and we use Debian's
packages dirctly without recompilation. So bugs should be reported to Debian's
BTS.

However, before you do that, can you first check this isn't just a multi-arch
configuration error.[1]

As you are running a 64bit  system, to install 32bit binaries you need to enable
i386. Have you? What does

 dpkg --print-foreign-architectures

produce?

That was installed *before* the attempts made & displayed here to

Alex,

I cannot reproduce this on a vanilla chimaera. (see attached).

You have backports enabled. That makes it relatively easy to install combinations
of package versions which apt needs help resolving.

What does

 apt-cache policy libldap-2.4-2:i386 libvulkan1:i386

produce?

You will probably have to specify a solution explicitly which may include a
package downgrade. Or try the apt-get --allow-downgrades option.

Looking at the policy for wine I notice that i have 5.0.3-3 installed & 
yet 7.0 is available in backports. I update each day, yet it has never 
been updated. I take it that the errors I received with wine32 are also 
the reason for that?

In respect of wine32, would it make a difference if I was able to 
install same-version of that?

No, packages from backports are never introduced unless specifically
requested. That is why the plain chimaera packages have a higher priority (500 >
100).

Unless you specifically need the newer version of wine, I would avoid that as it
is likely to compound your version mismatches.

OK, so now try to install libldap-2.4-2:i386

If it works then try to install wine32. If not use

 -o Debug::pkgProblemResolver=yes

if it is not obvious why it won't install.

The option

 --allow-downgrades

may also help.

I don't think there is a bug here. I think you ahve just got into a corner with
some backports packages installed and apt needs help to find a solution.

Thanks for your expert direction so far, Mark, but I am abandoning wine 
at this point, and have removed all traces from my system. I took a look 
at the staggeringly-large list of :i386 packages that were required to 
support wine32 & decided "no thanks".

OK, thanks for this. I will close the report as I don't think there is a bug as
such, just a backports version combination that needed to be worked around.
