I have been trying to download wine through https://wiki.winehq.org/Ubuntu and I keep on getting this error when adding the repository using this command: Sudo add-apt-repository 'deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ groovy main' i have tried everything I have found online and nothing has worked.

You have multiple PPAs that're not supported anymore. Hence the 404s.

WebUpd8Team Java PPA

Err:18 http://ppa.launchpad.net/webupd8team/java/ubuntu focal Release
  404  Not Found [IP: 91.189.95.85 80]

The WebUpd8Team PPAs are all old and deprecated and do not support Focal. Further, if you are using this to get Sun / Oracle JAVA, the Sun/Oracle licensing has changed in the past two years and you no longer can distribute the Oracle Java flavors due to the licensing change.

Ubuntu WINE PPA

Err:17 http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-wine/ppa/ubuntu focal Release
  404  Not Found [IP: 91.189.95.85 80]

The Ubuntu Wine PPA has not been maintained for at least three dev cycles of Ubuntu now.

Instead, you need to follow the instructions from WineHQ Upstream and use the WineHQ repos to get the latest Wine on your systems. There's no way around this.

  • You're fast! I was in the process of answering and you beat me to it! +1 for speed alone. ;) – Terrance Apr 03 '21 at 01:16
  • @Terrance Well, I was already writing. And this is also closed as another post. Except that I didn't have that link when I was writing already ;) – Thomas Ward Apr 03 '21 at 01:17
  • so what do i do about the WebUpd8Team Java PPA as it does not seem to be working without it – Mark Newton Apr 03 '21 at 04:13
