Install Headache

[caltrop]

Why can there not be a Repository/PPA that can be added to a Package Manager?
I ended up copying all the commands to a script then executing it.
Why does everything have to be so complicated in Linux?



when I add the following to my package manager:
deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ xenial main

I get the error message:
W: GPG error: https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu xenial InRelease: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 818A435C5FCBF54A
W: The repository 'https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu xenial InRelease' is not signed.



the PPA listd also does not work, in only gives source, not builds



Linux MInt's software repository is very out of date!

Does it work if you follow these steps, from the WineHQ Wiki: Ubuntu:

Code: Select all

cd
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
wget -n https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/Release.key
sudo apt-key add Release.key
sudo apt-add-repository 'deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ xenial main'
sudo apt-get update

If this still doesn't work, then please post the step where things fall over...

Please use the forum Code tags:

Code: Select all

I AM CODE

for blocks of terminal output, file contents, etc.

There is definitely an InRelease file for the xenial dist folder, which has a GPG signature block...

Please file a bug for the out-of-date wine packages, in the main repositories, with the Linux-Mint team...
If they even have a bug tracker...
They probably won't do anything, since it's an Upstream problem (with Debian's packaging).

If you think "Linux" is complicated, try running Gentoo for a few years...
