Command for installing Wine provided in the Wiki does not work

[miwag]

Hey guys,

I've just noticed that the command for the installation of Wine, that is provided in the Wiki, does not work. The command there is the following:

Code: Select all

sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-stable

Running this command will cause the following error:

Code: Select all

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package winehq-stable

Instead of using the command from the wiki you have to use:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install --install-recommends wine-stable

This will work and the installation process will continue as expected.

Hope I've found the right subtopic. If not, please move this post. I'm new in this forum.

And can the wrong command please be fixed in the Wiki to avoid confusion among others in the future?

The command in the wiki should work if you've added the WineHQ repository. What version of Ubuntu or Debian are you on?
