Hello everyone,
Trying to install a Wine binary for the first time on Linux Mint 18.1 I followed the instructions on https://wiki.winehq.org/Ubuntu .
I did the following steps:
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
wget -nc 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
So far all went well, but after the command sudo apt-get install --install-recommends winehq-stable I received the message:
Unable to locate package winehq-stable.
Could you please give me a clue how to fix this?

Re: Unable to locate package winehq-stable
The most common cause of this problem is a typo when adding the repository. What you posted here should have worked, but you may have mistyped when actually running the command. What's in your sources.list file?
Re: Unable to locate package winehq-stable
Greetings,
I don't know how to figure out if I have mint. I am brand new to linux and am using it not by choice (free laptop I got came with it) and I am running galliumOS, a variation of linux built on top of Ubuntu. I have tried 4 times to install wine and all 4 times it says unable to locate winehq-stable. I tried using one of the mint command lines but when I do that repository command the command line goes to this:
>
and then I am unable to use anymore commands.
But when I do whats normally listed it just says unable to locate package.

Re: Unable to locate package winehq-stable
I'm new to linux too and I got the same message "Unable to locate package winehq-stable"
I'm using mint 19. I did the copy and paste thing per the information on the downloads page. All seemed to go well enough, since I had no complaints from the terminal till the end. If there is a typo, it might be on the last command, perhaps? below is what I copied and pasted
sudo apt-get install --install-recommends winehq-stable
After that was when I got the Unable to locate package winehq-stable

I'm sure you think you did, but you probably made a mistake somewhere, and you haven't provided enough information to troubleshoot the issue.wxdhag wrote: I'm using mint 19. I did the copy and paste thing per the information on the downloads page.
When asking for help with something like this you need to copy from the terminal the exact commands you entered and the terminal output and paste them into your post (and use code tags).
Re: Unable to locate package winehq-stable
it happened to me too on both Debian and Arch Linux, how do i solve? and I'm sure, and I swear what you want, I have copied and pasted.

Terminal output?
