How do I get 'sudo apt-get build-dep wine wine-dev' to work?

Post by brewmanz »

https://wiki.winehq.org/Regression_Testing
mentions using
sudo apt-get build-dep wine wine-dev
I'm using Ubuntu 14.04, and this command results in
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Picking 'wine1.6' as source package instead of 'wine'
E: Unable to find a source package for wine-dev

How do I fix this? Or is it a documentation error? or wine error?

BTW I have wine 1.6.2 installed (on this particular box of several) but planning on building from source.

I think that part of the instructions is outdated; it was written before Ubuntu moved to multiarch, and while they were still packaging Wine. https://wiki.winehq.org/Building_Biarch_Wine_On_Ubuntu are the most up-to-date instructions we have for building Wine on Ubuntu.
