trying to install wine on linux mint 18.3 cinnamon
when I try to auto update with
sudo apt-get update
I get this error
E: Malformed entry 2 in list file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/additional-repositories.list (Component)
E: The list of sources could not be read.
I had previously typed the command
sudo apt-add-repository 'deb https;//dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ xenial main'
no errors reported after that command
