E: Unable to locate package winehq-stable

Best Answer

The winehq-stable package is not in the default Ubuntu repositories, so apt is unable to locate it. In Ubuntu 17.10 install wine-stable instead. The wine-stable version is 2.0 in Ubuntu 17.10. The wine-stable version is 3.0 in Ubuntu 18.04, 18.10, 19.04, 19.10, 20.04 and 20.10. Open the terminal and type:

sudo apt install -y wine-stable

Other suggested packages to install along with wine-stable are: dosbox playonlinux winbind wine-binfmt winetricks
