Having trouble downloading wine for ubuntu

Post by fargodwe »

I had to reset my PC so I'm trying to reinstall wine on linux mint 18.3. I followed the instuctions on winehq for ubuntu. It says it can't find the wine stable or development. Console log:

You forgot to do sudo apt update after adding the repository.

Oh dang! I was trying to be so careful copying and pasting but I sure messed up! Of course without the update it would never know about it.

Thanks from a dumb guy!
