The instructions use the character O or is it 0, you cannot tell by looking at the
screen or a printout.
Another ambiguity is the command (s?):
sudo wget http://wine.budgetdedicated..........
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list
Is this one long command continued on two lines, or is it two commands?
I am not in the sudo list on my stock debian/etch installation, and do not wish to take
three weeks to figure out how to add myself to the sudo list, so I used "su", and
am now informed by apt-get that software can no longer be installed on my computer.

If the line break in the command was intentional and not the result of a
presentation error, the last character of each line of a multi-line command
will be "\" (and you can probably copy and paste it as multiple lines). If
not, well, something plain got line-wrapped weirdly.
line already listed in the comments. Just copy the example to the first
blank line, replace the example user name with your username, save and quit
the editor, then give sudo a whirl. If yours is missing the example, this
one should work:
username ALL=(ALL) ALL
^^^^^^^^
Replace this with your actual username.
To edit your sudoers file, run visudo. See the man pages visudo(1) and
sudoers(5) for more information. If you haven't done so already on your
debian system, you might want to change the default editor first by
running...
update-alternatives --config editor
...before you run visudo. Remember, sudo's not going to help your security
situation any if you have a weak password (or root and your password are the
same), or use it unnecessarily.
If you have a followup about sudo, please reply on
[email protected] instead of here as sudo on Debian's more of a
topic for that list.
