Help installing WINE?

Post by Antikytherian »

Ok, so I have an ubuntu-based linux distro, and I try installing it through the command prompt. I add the repository and start the download. The problem is, the download and installation won't finish. It keeps on coming up with this:

Err http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ quantal-updates/main libtiff5 amd64 4.0.2-1ubuntu2.1

E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?


The update won't work and I don't know what the -- fix missing does or how to use it. I need to know how to get around these errors and install WINE.

Learning how to use your package manager is not a Wine issue. Ask on your distro's support forum, or the Ubuntu forum, for help.

I'm guessing that it wasn't updating the repository list, because I ran sudo apt-get update about 10-15 times and the installation ran sucessfully.
