missing packages error in wine installation
i'm trying to install wine the latest version using the following command
sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-stable
but i faced some missing packages issues, so i tried to fix it through the command:
sudo apt install --install-recommends --fix-missing winehq-stable
even with that still unable to get the missed packages and i keep getting this error:
Unable to correct missing packages.
E: Failed to fetch https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/dists/focal/main/binary-amd64/wine-stable-amd64_6.0.1~focal-1_amd64.deb Temporary failure resolving 'dl.winehq.org'

E: Aborting install.
how can i fix this issue ?
Solution 1:
so guys I've been fighting with this problem for quite a time and finally found the solution.
the wine repository uses https protocol to transport its packages so i had to install https
package on my maching using the following commands :
sudo apt-get update -y
sudo apt-get install -y apt-transport-https
then i retyped the command :
sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-stable
or
sudo apt install --install-recommends --fix-missing winehq-stable
to just get the missed packages.
then the problem solved.
