    Status: Open => Answered

actionparsnip proposed the following answer:
sounds like you havent ran the wine repo commands correctly

we can do this a MUCH easier way

we will just add the single repo to the main sources file.

sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list

then run:

gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

scroll to the bottom of the file and paste tis line:

deb http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt jaunty main

if you are not using jaunty, then replace jaunty with the release name
you are using (lsb_release -c     will show you)

save the file and close gedit.

You can now run:

cd~/; wget -q http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/387EE263.gpg -O- |
sudo apt-key add -; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get --reinstall
install wine

Done
