I installed the lastest stable Ubuntu (today is 22.3.2022, so it's 20.04.3 LTS). - a fresh installation.

I went to the WineHQ webpage, filled all the requests.

https://wiki.winehq.org/Ubuntu

then I finally come to install...

sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-stable

it starts out normally - asking me a [y / n] question, I say y.

Then 110 errors appear - all of the same type, let's see the first one:

Err:1 http://il.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal/main i386 libcrypt1 i386 1:4.4.10-10ubuntu4
  404  Not Found [IP: 192.115.211.70 80]

then another stack of errors appear - all of the same type, let's see the first one:

E: Failed to fetch http://il.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/libx/libxcrypt/libcrypt1_4.4.10-10ubuntu4_i386.deb  404  Not Found [IP: 192.115.211.70 80]

then a comp. suggestion:

E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?

What seems to be the officer?

  • it seems it has problem to get data from server il.archive.ubuntu.com - maybe it doesn't have this repo. If you would use GUI like synaptic then you could easy select different mirror server in different location/country. Sometimes some servers may not have all repos or they need time to get fresh versions. – furas Mar 22 '22 at 17:35

    False assumption that only LTS releases are "stable". All releases of Ubuntu are tested by a large team of volunteers before release and are stable. – user535733 Mar 22 '22 at 18:08

    Unless you have a specific need for the latest version of wine, undo everything you did and just install the version from the Ubuntu repos. – Organic Marble Mar 22 '22 at 19:53
  • The lastest stable release of Ubuntu is 2021-October release; ie. 21.10 and not four releases ago or the 2020-April (20.04) system. The 20.04 system you mention is also not the latest (of the 4 releases ago 20.04) either, see https://fridge.ubuntu.com/2022/02/25/ubuntu-20-04-4-lts-released/ though installed systems upgraded weeks before that date which is the ISO release date (a re-spin of the older 20.04 release with fixes applied & new kernel stack from 21.10) – guiverc Mar 22 '22 at 22:25

It seems it has problem to download libcrypt1 from server il.archive.ubuntu.com

When I try to download manually in browser then I also can't get it.

http://il.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/libx/libxcrypt/libcrypt1_4.4.10-10ubuntu4_i386.deb

But I don't have problem when I use address ie. for GB or PL

http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/libx/libxcrypt/libcrypt1_4.4.10-10ubuntu4_i386.deb

Maybe it is fresh version and it wasn't resend to all mirror servers - and you may need to wait few hours/days or you may change mirror server.

If you use some GUI to install programs (like synaptic, Software Sources) then you could select new mirror server from list.

You may also change it like in other question

repository - How can I get apt to use a mirror close to me, or choose a faster mirror? - Ask Ubuntu

  • You're correct! You've solved it! Thank you furas! I installed Synaptic, went to 'Settings', 'Repositories', 'Download from:', changed it from Server of Israel to Main Server, went to install WineHQ from their main site - installation done! - I have Wine, cheers! – Yosef Cohen May 07 '22 at 20:49
  • if it resolved your problem then you can mark my answer as accepted. – furas May 08 '22 at 13:12
