I'm having trouble installing wine-staging

[miniscule112]

I'm using mint 21.3, my main problem as of typing this is that I have to restart downloading/installing wine from scratch, and to do that I have to remove my previous repositories (which is what I cant do)

for context I'm doing this since grapejuice requires the staging branch and I was using stable, the link to grapejuice installation guide is https://brinkervii.gitlab.io/grapejuice ... stall-wine

NOTE: I'm the textbook definition of a beginner, I only installed linux 1 or 2 months ago and I barely used it since then

Why do you have to remove repo's? and why you cannot?

I am running Debian testing aka trixie but the same goes for Linux Mint for their repo's.

My /etc/apt/sources.list contains the following (yours look a bit different but the basic is the same):
deb https://deb.debian.org/debian/ testing main non-free-firmware contrib non-free
deb https://security.debian.org/debian-security/ testing-security main non-free-firmware contrib non-free

/etc/apt/sources.list.d/wine-staging.list:
deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/debian/ trixie main

Your /etc/apt/sources.list.d/wine-staging.list should read like this:
deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ jammie main

For Roblox/Grapjuice (simplified) it should be something like this:
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/grapejuice.list:
deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/grapejuice-archive-keyring.gpg] https://brinkervii.gitlab.io/grapejuice ... es/debian/ universal main

Remove any wine/wine-devel from your system.
Make sure correct archivekeys and repo's (See above) are installed.
Installing wine-staging:
run with sudo
dpkg --add-architecture i386
apt update
apt install --install-recommends winehq-staging
apt install -y grapejuice

This should get you going.
