The repositories are up-to-date and currently contain version 2.10 for
both the Staging and Development branches. Also see the list of files
here:

https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/debian/pool/main/

If you added our repositories before March 2017, please note that the
repository URL has changed. There is no longer a separate repository
hosted at repos.wine-staging.com and we recommend all users to switch
the WineHQ repositories (which contains the same wine-staging packages).
This was also announced on the mailing list and in the news section
back then (and there is also a small remark at the top of the
installation instructions).

Otherwise, if you are already using the correct repository, I am not
sure why you would get such an old version. Did you maybe forget to run
"apt-get update", or using a wrong package name? If those hints do not
help to fix the issue, please provide the output of "apt-cache policy
winehq-staging" to track it down further.

Best regards,
Sebastian
