Cannot even 'locate' package on Raring

Post by Morbuzka »

Armhf here by the way.
Here's what I did, I added the repository, then I apt-get update, no issues. From there, I restart Ubuntu. Then, I manually insert the sources into the sources.list file, then I apt-get update, no issues. I sudo apt-get install -f, then autoclean, then clean. No issues at all, then I restart. However, when I type sudo apt-get install wine1.5, I get this right here:

Code: Select all

(precise)aaron@localhost:~$ sudo apt-get install wine1.5
[sudo] password for aaron: 
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Package wine1.5 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'wine1.5' has no installation candidate
(precise)aaron@localhost:~$ 
This is a bit unfair, considering I have searched up every possible solution, in my opinion, and used them all. I have even reinstalled ubuntu around 5 times. I think I have spent a combined total of 40 hours trying to get wine to work, so I would appreciate it if I could get some help. Thanks in the end.

The maintainer names in the righthand column are email links. Just click on it.
