Wine for Ubuntu and Ubuntu

derivatives 
Ubuntu and Ubuntu derivatives (such as Kubuntu) obtain software
from packages which are stored in repositories. Ubuntu's default repository
includes Wine, however if you want to stay up to date with the latest Wine beta
package you can use WineHQ's by following these instructions.

Warning: These are beta packages for Ubuntu

10.04 or later
The packages here are beta packages. This means they will periodically suffer
from regressions, and as a result an update may break functionality in Wine. If
the Wine version provided with Ubuntu works for you, then you may not want to
use these beta packages.

Adding the WineHQ Repository:

Open the Software Sources menu by going to System->Administration->Software
Sources. Then select the Other Software tab and click Add.
Then, copy and paste the line below.

ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa

Installing Wine:
Click close to finish, and then reload the package information when prompted. If
you have Wine installed already, update manager will offer to upgrade you to the
stable Wine 1.2. To get the most recent Wine 1.3 beta, you must install
the wine1.3 package or click this link.

Upgrading to a new version of Ubuntu

If you are upgrading the entire system, such as going from Ubuntu 10.04 to 10.10,
you will need to come back to this page and add the repository again. The built in
update manager will not switch the Wine repository automatically.
Alternative Command Line Instructions for
Installing Wine:
It is also possible to add the Wine PPA and install via the terminal. This may be
useful on Kubuntu, Xubuntu, and other Ubuntu derivatives.

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

Then update APT's package information by running 'sudo apt-get update'. You can
now install Wine by typing 'sudo apt-get install wine1.3'.

If you'd like to browse the PPA manually, you can visit its Launchpad page.
