Unable to locate package winehq-stable

[RonSMeyer]

I just built a new system and installed new Mint 22. I'm trying to install Wine.

But No Go. "Unable to locate package winehq-stable"

What to do?

There are no stable packages yet for Ubuntu 24.04 because it had not been released when wine 9.0 came out. There will be stable packages whenever the next stable release comes out. In the mean time, there are packages for wine-devel and wine-staging.

Ok, thank you. I will go with the devel package then.
Perhaps this should be noted on the download instructions page?
