Upgraded to Fedora 44 but can't check wine version

I’m incredibly new to Fedora and Linux in general. Maybe I made a mistake when upgrading to Fedora 44 but I can no longer use wine nor check my wine version on Fedora 44. I upgraded from the software center. I am using KDE Plasma.

Whenever I try to remove wine or winehq or winehq-stable it says there is nothing to remove or no packages to remove. I don’t know how to remove the Fedora 43 packages in order to try and install the Fedora 44 packages. I’m completely stuck on what to do.

Whenever I try to add the 44 packages it says I need to overrite. Whenever I try to overraite it says that it failed. Whenever I try to install winehq-stable it says I have to skip-broken. I don’t know what’s broken and I’m worried of making it worse if I do run that prompt.

Second image is what happens when I run wine --version

I’d try:

sudo dnf remove *wine*

It says: No packages to remove for argument: wine. Same thing if I do wine.

You need to remove winehq repo files as their packages aren’t compatible with fedora ffmpeg version.

$ rpm -qP ffmpeg-libs
ffmpeg-libs = 8.0.1-6.fc44
ffmpeg-libs(x86-64) = 8.0.1-6.fc44
libavcodec-freeworld = 8.0.1-1
libavcodec-freeworld(x86-64) = 8.0.1-1
libavcodec.so.62()(64bit)
libavcodec.so.62(LIBAVCODEC_62)(64bit)
libavfilter.so.11()(64bit)
libavfilter.so.11(LIBAVFILTER_11)(64bit)
libavformat.so.62()(64bit)
libavformat.so.62(LIBAVFORMAT_62)(64bit)
libavutil.so.60()(64bit)
libavutil.so.60(LIBAVUTIL_60)(64bit)
libswresample.so.6()(64bit)
libswresample.so.6(LIBSWRESAMPLE_6)(64bit)
libswscale.so.9()(64bit)
libswscale.so.9(LIBSWSCALE_9)(64bit)

FYI Please post text as pre-formatted text so that you can search and quote from it, not as screen shots. You can do this with the </> button.

Which will look like this (using your example):

$ wine --version
-bash: wine: command not found

You told bash, your shell, to run the wine command.
But bash is reporting to you that there is no command called wine installed.

Using the build of wine that is packaged by Fedora will work better then using the build from wineHQ as Leigh said.

After you have removed the winhq repos you can do that with:

sudo dnf install /usr/bin/wine

Thank you. I believe Leigh’s and your answer worked. I now can run this on the console:

$ wine --version 
wine-11.0 (Staging)
