I am curious as to why installing PlayOnLinux entails removing seemingly unrelated packages like google-earth-stable. Is this the expected behaviour?



This is the output I get when trying to install playonlinux through apt-get:



The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
python-scour pax ncurses-term
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
The following extra packages will be installed:
binfmt-support fonts-horai-umefont fonts-unfonts-core libcapi20-3
libgif4:i386 libmpg123-0 libodbc1 libpam-winbind ttf-umefont
ttf-unfonts-core unixodbc winbind wine wine-gecko1.4 wine-gecko1.4:i386
wine1.4 wine1.4-amd64 wine1.4-common wine1.4-i386:i386 winetricks
Suggested packages:
libmyodbc odbc-postgresql tdsodbc unixodbc-bin dosbox
Recommended packages:
gettext:i386 unixodbc:i386
The following packages will be REMOVED:
alien cdbs debhelper dh-make dh-translations gettext google-earth-stable
intltool intltool-debian lsb-core po-debconf
The following NEW packages will be installed:
binfmt-support fonts-horai-umefont fonts-unfonts-core libcapi20-3
libgif4:i386 libmpg123-0 libodbc1 libpam-winbind playonlinux ttf-umefont
ttf-unfonts-core unixodbc winbind wine wine-gecko1.4 wine-gecko1.4:i386

This is the first time I am trying to install Wine / POL. I am using the default repositories, no Wine PPA or POL source added.



These are all the PPAs I am using:

How do I install POL / Wine without having to remove all these packages?

So I went ahead and installed playonlinux despite all dependency issues. Turns out that it was no problem reinstalling all the packages afterwards. I still don't quite understand why this was necessary in the first place.



The reinstallation command I used, for you convenience:



sudo apt-get install alien cdbs debhelper dh-make dh-translations gettext google-earth-stable intltool intltool-debian lsb-core po-debconf


Edit: This seems to be a pretty common occurence (ex 1, ex 2) on Precise. Here's a bugreport on launchpad.
