Recent wine in Ubuntu 16.04 ?

I tried the old PPA;

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:wine/wine-builds

This has the following warning:

For more information, please see:



    https://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2017-March/117104.html



The following commands can be used to add the new repository:



    wget 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/'

reading https://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2017-March/117104.html it's just the same instructions as above.

It adds the key but the repository never gets added :| so I'm still stuck with wine 1.6

Anyone who can clue me in here?

well I figured it out - this is one case where Linux mint is spechul and not just a rebranded ubunut.

Mint 18.x needs;

sudo apt-add-repository 'deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ xenial main'

pardon the spam!

The official instructions worked just fine for me on Mint 18.2. Thanks for the heads up by the way, I was still using the deprecated PPA. I don't need Wine often, but this is nice to have anyway.
