Wine installation on Ubuntu 16.04 fails

Post by SanSan »

I want to install Wine on Ubuntu 16.04.

According to (https://wiki.winehq.org/Ubuntu#Notes):
¨A complete Wine installation on a 64-bit system consists of four packages.
winehq-<branch> This package ensures that the wine command is available system-wide.
wine-<branch> This package has the following two packages as dependencies and provides a working Wine installation.
wine-<branch>-amd64 The 64-bit part of Wine.
wine-<branch>-i386 The 32-bit part of Wine.¨

I go to WineHQ server, find a folder for my version of Ubuntu - Xenial 16.04 (https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/dists/xenial/). Here I see files that have names for example wine-stable_5.0.3~xenial_amd64.deb or wine-stable_5.0.3~xenial_i386.deb. And there are no files named winehq-stable_5.0.3~xenial.deb and wine-stable_5.0.3~xenial.deb.
If I run wine-stable_5.0.3~xenial_amd64.deb installation fails without messages in 2 sec.
Can anybody help me?
