Hi,
Packaging systems handle dependencies between packages, if you want to go with packaged PlayOnLinux (and the way you install it makes no difference), you have to satisfy its dependencies:
$ dpkg -I /tmp/PlayOnLinux_4.0.17.deb|grep Depends
Depends: unzip, wine | wine-stable | wine-unstable, wget, xterm, python, python-wxgtk2.8, imagemagick, cabextract, icoutilsSo it needs one of the wine or wine-stable or wine-unstable packages.
Now I see three solutions:
- go on without packages as you did with Wine, and install PlayOnLinux using the .tar.gz
- learn about the Debian packaging, create a package out of Wine 1.5.2 and install it that way, satisfying dependencies
- if you don't use Wine directly, you can install many versions of Wine thru PlayOnLinux, including Wine 1.5.2
