Typical technician's syndrome. The last time I was here, I got all the way to putting in the URL in the repos section of synaptic (graphical), & it claimed the URL didn't exist. This time around I got this message:
The method driver /usr/lib/apt/methods/https could not be found.
So I installed that and this time everything went smoothly.
But now my major concern is Multiarch, since Steam uses 32-bit code (and I have a 64-bit system). The reference page implied that since wine-builds does not at present use source code, I wouldn't have worry about compilation
- and compilation is only mentioned in reference to Multiarch. Does
'add-architecture i386' simply augment Wine's functionality - or is it part of Multiarch and more involved?
After my last post, I thought I'd install the Debian version of Steam - until I kept getting error messages because of useless drivers Valve included (e.g. libgcc++, etc.). A web search showed dozens 'solutions' marked "SOLVED" on message boards which indicated the best answer was to remove said files. Until my browser stopped loading and not even apt-get worked in the terminal. So I had reinstall everything -from scratch - the OS too.
So - thank you, Ms. R.
Apologies for the offtopic but Antergos uses the Arch repos and they offer Wine in multilib format: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/multilib/x86_64/wine/
This will a) allow you to run 32-bit and 64-bit applications without needing separate Wine versions and b) is always up to date and hassle-free.
In any case, you are still using Wine 1.6.2 so it's up to you to decide if you wish to switch to a distro that allows you to have easy access to a more updated version of Wine.
