So, I just installed Ubuntu 17.10 on my 64 bit PC. After that I went to install chromium, spotify and other daily things I use on my PC. But then I needed to install some sort of program to be able to play Paladins on it. I went to google it and found out that I need to use Wine. Fine. I went to their website and did everything I was asked. Here's what I did:

  1. I went to the "Download" page.
  2. I clicked on "Ubuntu - WineHQ binary packages for Ubuntu 14.04, 16.04, and 17.10"
  3. "If your system is 64 bit, enable 32 bit architecture (if you haven't already)". I also did that too. When I ran the code: sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 I get this: dpkg: error: unknown option --add-arhitecture
  4. I ignored it (Maybe I was a fool for doing that), and moved on. I did the rest of the things that returned "OK" but then I run this code: sudo apt-get install --install-recommends winehq-stable and I get this error: E: Unable to locate package winehq-stable

Now, I don't know if it is from my Ubuntu installation as I took it from their website so I suppose it is a "clean" installation. I used PowerISO tools to create a bootable USB. Everything went perfect on the installation, so I don't think it is from the OS itself. Thank you if you at least tried to help me.

Ad 3 - error print dpkg: error: unknown option --add-arhitecture suggests that maybe a typo is an issue - "arhitecture" instead of "architecture" ?

Ad 4 - did you add repositories according to WineHQ Manual ?

wget -nc https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/Release.key
sudo apt-key add Release.key
sudo apt-add-repository https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/

thensudo apt-get update

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