Debian 12 is being infuriating

Post by Hffirbi »

I was trying to reinstall Wine after I was practically forced to powerwash my linux partition and update to Debian 12 after my apps became unusable. I ran this command:

Code: Select all

sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-staging
After I pressed enter this poem of annoyance and inconvenience was displayed:

Code: Select all

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package winehq-staging
Instead of linux interpreting the command as listing several libraries and doing what i expected, it seems that it listed it as one library. What should I do?
