16.04 - Installing Wine and getting an error


I'm running a rented vps that was/is an Ubuntu 16.04 headless server that I installed Xfce Workstation on top of. I connect via remote desktop. I've not had any problems up until this point.


I am attemping to install Wine on my Ubuntu workstation. I am following the instructions given here:


https://wiki.winehq.org/Ubuntu


I am at the point where I ran this line:


sudo apt-add-repository https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/

This didn't give me any errors although the next line did:


sudo apt-get update

I am getting this:

ones used instead.



(btw I remove the 'h' off 'http' since it said I can't post that many links)


I'm not sure what to do at this point. Am I installing the right version or should I be doing something different? I'm rather new to Ubuntu.


Any suggestions?



The wine repository uses https. You must install apt-transport-https package to access metadata and packages accessible over https
