            Bug ID: 39812
           Summary: Mention add-architecture in the installation guide
                    https://www.winehq.org/download/ubuntu
           Product: WineHQ.org
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: www-unknown
          Assignee: wine-bugs at winehq.org

      Distribution: ---

There are installation instructions on this page for ubuntu ppa setup:

 https://www.winehq.org/download/ubuntu

If someone uses a pure 64bit ubuntu, the command:

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 

is required before wine installation could work.

If you leave this step out, apt will complain when installing wine, that
wine1.7 depends on wine1.7-i386 but thats uninstallable...

This page is about resolving an another problem, but the first step mentions
this:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/697648/how-to-fix-installation-wine-on-ubuntu-14-04-3lts-64-bit

I believe the installation instructions should be clear on this step, as wine
do depend on this setting, so it should be mentioned both on the gui and the
cli part.

Best wishes!
