    Upgrading winehq-stable

    I have winehq-stable installed from winehq.org, which put the following lines in /etc/apt/sources.list:

    deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ bionic main
    #deb-src https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ bionic main

    Problem is, it has wine 3.0 installed, and wine 4.0 is available. Doing apt-get update doesn't find it; the only way to find it is to do:

    sudo apt -o Acquire::AllowInsecureRepositories=true \
    -o Acquire::AllowDowngradeToInsecureRepositories=true \
    update

    Supposedly there is a way to add the allow-insecure statement to the repository listing itself, so that apt will do it on an ordinary update, but I have tried about every combination listed in the man pages and none work. I also have not been able to figure out how to add the acquire statements into apt.conf.d. I added the following file, but apt-get update just ignores it:

    greenman@Crynfyd18.04 /etc/apt/apt.conf.d$ cat 02Allow-insecure
    APT::Acquire::AllowInsecureRepositories=true;

    Any idea how to get this working so it will update wine as it is supposed to?
