problem installing wine

[person]

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

Hi person,

'deb https;//dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ xenial main'

A typo.
Change;to:in the line above in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/additional-repositories.list.
In a terminal run:

Code: Select all

gksudo xed /etc/apt/sources.list.d/additional-repositories.list

When the file opens, correct the typo, save and close. Proceed then with update/install.

Good luck!

only get to work on this on sundays, still having an issue when I try to do the update, and I cant install or even get my software manager to open. I'm wondering if I should check all my files on a mirror or something

[Sir Charles]

Please post the output from:

Code: Select all

inxi -r

and

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update

Copy the whole of the output from each command and paste it here using code tags</>from above the edit-box to enclose them.

got it! I did not realize that I need to erase the lines with errors in the window that opens when I run the gksudo command, and replace with the proper command. thnx for the help
