Issue when installing Wine

[lavadisco]

So I'm going through the instructions on the winehq.org/Ubuntu page, and I get to this step which gives me weird errors. What is going on?

Code: Select all

Maybe it will work, but it is not recommended to mix different versions.

Err:23 http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-wine/ppa/ubuntu focal Release

Remove this repository from /etc/apt/sources.list

[lavadisco]

I was literally copying and pasting what's on the Winehq instructions. Why would it mix versions like that?
And don't I need the Ubuntu focal release version as I'm on Ubuntu? (sorry if this is a dumb question)

Which version of Ubuntu are you on? Your /etc/apt/sources.list has repositories for xenial, bionic, and focal.
In addition, even if you are on focal, the repository that is throwing the error is not the WineHQ repository:

Code: Select all

E: The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-wine/ppa/ubuntu focal Release' does not have a Release file.'

These repositories weren't added by the commands you copied from our wiki; you must have added them separately, perhaps some time ago, and you forgot. They have nothing to do with our packages.

You should only have repositories for the version of Ubuntu you are currently using; the mismatch can prevent packages from installing. You also need to remove the PPA that is causing the errors, unless, of course you want to install their packages instead of the WineHQ ones. If that is the case, ask for help from the maintainers of that PPA; it has nothing to do with our packages.
