Error while installing Winehq

Question

When I use sudo apt-add-repository https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ to add winehq this shows up

E: The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-wine/ppa/ubuntu bionic Release' does not have a Release file.
N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.
N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.

Instead of screenshot you can copy error messages and paste in the question body — Kulfy, Dec 10 '18 at 05:00
The errors are not what you are trying to add, but what you already have added. You probably need to go to your Menu -> Settings -> Software & Updates -> Other Software tab and disable the ones containing the ubuntu-wine and the wine-builds in the name of them that start with the launchpad. I just added the one that you are trying to add and I don't have any that yours is failing on. — Terrance, Dec 10 '18 at 05:31
I just removed all the repositories connected to wine and then again repeated the process it worked.THANKS — Aditya Kumar, Dec 10 '18 at 15:28

From my comment above:

The errors are not what you are trying to add, but what you already have added. Go to your Menu -> Settings -> Software & Updates -> Other Software tab

disable the ones containing the ubuntu-wine and the wine-builds in the name of them.

Rerun your installation steps.
