I've tried to install wine but I get the following errors:

niel@grinch:~$ sudo apt-get install wine
Reading package lists... Done

The following NEW packages will be installed:

After unpacking 56.0MB of additional disk space will be used.

Err http://wine.sourceforge.net binary/ wine 0.9.6-winehq-1
404 Not Found
Failed to fetch http://wine.sourceforge.net/apt/binary/wine_0.9.6-winehq-1_i386.deb 404 Not Found
E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?


It appears to be calling the wrong file.. namely 0.9.6 and the current is 0.9.7 how would I resolve this?

Fixed it.. appears the Packages.gz in the http://wine.sourceforge.net/apt/binary/ folder links to the 0.9.6 source files but are 0.9.7. the Packages.gz files in http://wine.sourceforge.net/apt/breezy are correct.
So I ran sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
and changed the
deb http://wine.sourceforge.net/apt/ binary/
to
deb http://wine.sourceforge.net/apt/ breezy/

you may also need to run sudo apt-get update to pick up the new sources

cool, but wouldn't it have been easier to open synaptic, search for wine, install it, then update it???? :-k

but the problem would have been the same.... just in a GUI... I'm a command line kind of guy.

never the less, you have it working now 8-)
I like the command line too, but some things are faster useing synaptic.

true.. but I've been working with UNIX for ten years now and I'm kind of set in my ways. Though I have been using DOS and windows longer... so I'm a bit flexible...

I've never use a true Unix system. Been useing Linux for about 2 years, so needless to say I still have alot to learn :rolleyes: Started with Mandrake.

There are lots of similarities, depending on what version of UNIX you've been using. But even those are different to each other. The main common parts are the oldests. Vi... ls... metacharaters. Stuff like that.
