[Wine] Re: Installing Wine on Ubuntu 8.04

[Forester]

Hmm ... it seems you are trying to install the Debain package, not the Ubunutu package.

In  /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list  you have:


Code:
deb http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt etch main #WineHQ - Debian 4.0 "Etch"
deb-src http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt etch main #WineHQ - Debian 4.0 "Etch" 



while I have


Code:
deb http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt hardy main #WineHQ - Ubuntu 8.04 "Hardy Heron"
#deb-src http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt hardy main #WineHQ - Ubuntu 8.04 "Hardy Heron"



I suspect you didn't find the instructions on http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb clear enough.

I guess you followed:


> For Debian Etch (4.0):
> sudo wget http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/sources.list.d/etch.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list
> 

when you need to follow:


> For Ubuntu Hardy (8.04):
> sudo wget http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/sources.list.d/hardy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list
> 

Copy/paste mistakes are easily made.   [Wink] 

Try the 'right' sudo wget command again and see if your Wine install works now.
