When attempting to install wine, this is the prompt I received:

Some of the packages could not be retrieved from the server(s).
Do you want to continue, ignoring these packages?

W: Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool...1_i386.deb

Can you please update the repositories?
And also, when can the wine version be updated? Wine is over 2.0 now!

A partial install is to be avoided!!  It may only be that that particular repository site was temporarily down, for maintenance or something.  Don't install "ignoring those packages."

If I may be so bold, why are you installing WINE?  Unless it's for major gaming or work-specific software that requires Windows, I wonder if you'd be better off running Windows in a virtual environment.

I'm not against WINE or anything, but for most of my friends who have used it, it's often troublesome, on-again, off-again.  If your machine can handle it, "virtual Windows" may be less frustrating.

I just run Amazing Slow Downer as I OWN a copy and like it a lot! I am NOT going to install a virtual machine just for that!!
Plus, you have to OWN a copy of WinBlows and I do not. I have not run WinBlows since the inception of Win8.

But... it really doesn't matter at this point, as I finally got it to run.
