    wine apt list

    I distupgraded to the beta via aptitude after changing all instances of gutsy to hardy in /etc/apt/sources.list. I No problems except for the loss of host name in etc/hosts and not being able to use sudo. Fixed.

    I have been puzzled by why my updates (via aptitude in a batch script) kept listing wine updates as gutsy. There were no references anywhere to wine sources in etc/apt/source.lists

    I kept perusing the forums, no mention.

    Via google I stumbled onto this page

    http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb

    I did

    wget -q http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/387EE263.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -

    and

    sudo wget http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/...t.d/hardy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list

    voila, I now have wine 9.60

    Still curious as to exactly where the wine sourcelists are kept, but I will peruse more.

    This might help those of you who prefer cli upgrades over the last few iterations.

    peace, Mark

    sudo wget http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/...t.d/hardy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list
    from the above command, you can find the file you are looking for:
    etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list

      and from man sources.list:
      SOURCES.LIST.D

      The /etc/apt/sources.list.d directory provides a way to add sources.list entries in seperate files that end with .list. The format is the same as for the regular sources.list file.
