wine

[hrsvan]

Hi,
while trying to installl wine I get this back from the console...
Using apt-get:
$ sudo apt-get install wine
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Package wine is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package wine has no installation candidate

What does this mean and what do I do?
Thanks

Re: wine

<ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories

You'll want to read that and setup all your sources such as multiverse and universe. Wine is in the universe repo. Or you can add the following lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list if you want the latest version of Wine at all times:

# Bleeding edge wine packages (packages)
deb [url]http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt[/url] dapper main
# Bleeding edge wine packages (sources)
#deb-src [url]http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt[/url] dapper main

Then immediately do:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install wine

You should then get the latest version of wine, currently 0.9.19
