"Unable to Locate Package" when installing Wine.

Post by Snood »

I'm using a Chromebook with the default Linux installation that Google recommends, which is Debian. I fully update my Debian installation, go to install Wine through the terminal command, just like the guide recommends, and it says it's "Unable to Locate Package", no matter whether I choose stable, dev, or staging. What do I do? I've lost all of my patience for what I'm installing Wine to do.

Is this an ARM Chromebook or an x86 Chromebook? WineHQ does not build packages for ARM.

If it's an x86 Chromebook, did you follow the instructions on https://wiki.winehq.org/Debian? What version of Debian are you using?
