You have to add the official WineHQ repositories. Follow the directions
here:

http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb

Specifically, from a commandline these 2 are of interest for you:

wget -q http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/387EE263.gpg -O- | sudo apt-
key add -

followed by:


sudo wget http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/sources.list.d/feisty.list -
O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list

If you are running edgy or dapper just replace feisty with edgy/dapper.
If you are running gutsy just use the feisty list as there is no gutsy
list yet, feisty one works fine though.

Then check for updates again and you will have 0.9.46 available.


Yes, check up on a program called "Alien", it can convert redhat RPM
packages to debian packages.

Stephan,

Yes, that's exactly what I did - still shows 0.9.45 as latest.
I had read up on alien after asking the second question. Also found that
there are still a few Ubuntu/Symphony beta problems - think I'll let
that one lie for a while.

That's weird...

Do me a favor, run this from a command line:

ls /apt/sources.list.d

The output you should get should look something like this:

stephan@stephan-desktop:~$ ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d
winehq.list winehq.list.save

If you see the .list file (the .save doesn't matter) then run this:

sudo aptitude update

This will refresh the package list of what's new and available.

one of the lines in the output should be similar to this:

Hit http://wine.budgetdedicated.com feisty/main Packages

Then for gutsy run:

sudo aptitude full-upgrade

Or for feisty and below:

sudo aptitude upgrade

And if by then you aren't downloading the most recent version of wine
then that'll be really weird...

Actually Stephan I was messing around last night and something odd
dependency-wise came up and it seemed like synaptic couldn't find
something or other but then I had to go out quick so never got back to
it, I got the impression a file may be missing from the server or
whatever...

If you're running gutsy then that's not impossible. I've yet to see it
happen but it most certainly is possible and I wouldn't doubt that it
happens on occasion. I suspect that it might occur while a package is
being updated on the server.

If it's a stable release such as Feisty...there I'd be a little more
surprised about it and wouldn't expect that it would happen.

One little tip btw, aptitude from a command line is a little better than
synaptic which is apt-get based. Aptitude has better dependency resolving
and does a better job at cleanup if you remove a package.

It's hardly something the average user needs to worry about, but if you
play around a lot with different packages, aptitude can be a little
nicer. No GUI though (there is text mode UI if you run it without
parameters but I never do).

Stephan,

I will when I can. I had a little setback on the machine I was using for
Ubuntu. I had a pre-Beta of Gutsy installed and decided to upgrade to
the Beta. It stuck on the Partitioner, next thing I knew the drive with
grub phase 2 on was corrupt and unbootable. I'm reinstalling the prior
pre-Bata now.

I'm pretty sure it was a temporary glitch but thought I's mention it
just in case - would have paid more attention if not having to rush out
the house

Ok on a fresh install with wine not installed, you'll also have to use
"sudo aptitude install wine" instead of "sudo aptitude upgrade" in the
end. =)

Can still run upgrade though to grab OS updates. =)

Having recovered from the setback, I can report that I now have 0.9.46
installed. There were some oddities during the execution of the commands
on winehq.com but its now there. The bad news I guess is that I can't
recreate the prior problem!The output to the command is as you expected.
Thanks for the help.
