Error: Could Not Refresh the List of Updates

hydrurga · 09-21-2018, 05:03 PM

Hi GardenGuy42,

I'm afraid that I didn't learn from a book, just from experience, but the question has been asked a few times here on LQ so if you search for it you should find some good suggestions. A web search should also provide good info. You may want to start a new thread as well if you want to narrow down which books (or online resources) you could use.

You're doing great so far. Thanks.

Ok, we should first of all uninstall all the versions of Wine that you have at the moment. Then we will re-add the PPA and install that version.

So, to uninstall those existing versions:

Code:

apt purge wine-stable

apt purge wine-stable-am

apt purge wine-stable-i3

apt purge winehq-stable

Just a wee note that you forgot to enclose your output in CODE tags in your last post - it's a good idea to do this for all your output.

Thanks. I didn't realise that the first command would be so effective.

Can you now run the following to purge those auto dependencies:

Code:

apt autoremove

Then a final check that there are no wine packages left:

Code:

dpkg -l "*wine*"

Great, thanks.

Let's now actually delete all those Wine repos that you disabled previously, before we get to installing the correct one.

So, in Software Sources, under Additional repositories, click on each Wine repository in turn and then click on Remove. When you have removed them all, close Software Sources.

hydrurga · 09-21-2018, 08:23 PM

Just a note that I won't be around again until tomorrow but if you're okay with it then we can continue then. There's not much left to do.

GardenGuy42 · 09-22-2018, 09:47 AM

Good morning hydrurga, all of the Wine repository's have been removed and I'm ready to go at your convenience.

hydrurga · 09-22-2018, 11:30 AM

Ok. Following the instructions at https://wiki.winehq.org/Ubuntu, I imagine that you already have the release key installed through your previous goes at adding the PPA, so let's go ahead and add the PPA itself:

Code:

sudo apt-add-repository 'deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ xenial main'

and then update your package database with the new PPA:

Code:

apt update

GardenGuy42 · 09-22-2018, 12:04 PM

Just completed everything with no errors.

hydrurga · 09-22-2018, 12:13 PM

Ok, now installation of Wine itself:

Code:

sudo apt-get install --install-recommends winehq-stable

GardenGuy42 · 09-22-2018, 12:16 PM

hydrurga · 09-22-2018, 12:23 PM

That should be you then. What do you want to run under Wine?

GardenGuy42 · 09-22-2018, 12:27 PM

Amazon Kindle for starters.

Do you have TimeShift installed, or do you have another means of making a system image/backup/snapshot? Because I would advise doing that now while you know you have a solid system. If you're going to install TimeShift, ensure that you have enough disk space for the snapshots.

TimeShift came installed a Dell computer with Linux installed. It has one tb hard drive with very little added to it.
