I am having an issue using terminal. After installing wine I keep getting an error stating Malformed entry 1 in list file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/archive_uri-https_dl_winehq_org_wine-builds_ubuntu_hirsute-hirsute.list (Component)

  • The error message tells you the line which contains the error, plus the file that contains the error. We cannot see what is in that file so cannot help you there. (the directory it's located in is empty on a clean install; so the entry was added by someone with sudo rights) – guiverc Jul 23 '21 at 01:49
  • 1 deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/hirsute main 2 deb-src https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/hirsute main – Rodney Fown Jul 23 '21 at 01:58
  • Im guessing there should be a space between "/" and "hirsute" – Rodney Fown Jul 23 '21 at 02:02
  • Yes there should be .. the hirsute is your release which is a separate field, where the space(s) are the delimiters for those fields. – guiverc Jul 23 '21 at 02:04
  • OK. so then I should use sudoedit to change that? – Rodney Fown Jul 23 '21 at 02:05
  • You can use whatever editor/tool you used to create it.. Myself I'd use vim which is not a newbie-friendly editor so it'd be something you likely should avoid. – guiverc Jul 23 '21 at 02:08
  • Awesome thank you. i followed the advice from the link you posted. $ sudo -H gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/archive_uri-https_dl_winehq_org_wine-builds_ubuntu_hirsute-hirsute.list brought up text editor where i added the space. issue resolved – Rodney Fown Jul 23 '21 at 02:13
