How do I download winetools packages?
Posts: 9
Hi everyone,
For a while now I tried to install wine on my laptop but I seem to be having problems downloading the packages for winetools. I've done it before earlier this year and had no problems and worked great! But now I have a new system and I tried using the instructions as outline in this link
http://www.mepis.org/node/7102
just as I did before except when I do a search for wintools on synaptic it does not come up with it. The instructions are as follows:
"Note that the Winetools package itself will NOT be found by Synaptic, even though it is listed as being in the repository. You will be asked if you want to continue anyway. Say ???Yes???, and three packages that Winetools depends on will be installed (xdialog, gtk2-engines-smooth, and gtk2-smooth-themes). This is the only way you will get all 3 of these dependent packages for Winetools installed, as gtk2-smooth-themes is NOT in the Debian repositories currently utilized by Simply Mepis."
I tried it but to no avalil and not even listed on the repository. My repositores are as follows:
deb ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ testing main contrib non-free
deb ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free
deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ unstable main
http://wine.sourceforge.net/apt/ binary/
With the exception of ftp.nerim.net I changed it from unstable to sid.
I downloaded winetools_2.1.1-1_all.deb as per the instructions but I cant seem to download the packages for it.
Could someone help me? I am running simply mepis 3.3 / 2.4.29
Thanks everyone!
No Luck...

Thanks AdrianTM
I added the two sources but no luck either. Once entered I hit reload and did a search for winetools and nothing came up. Any other suggestions?
I don't know, what is this

I don't know, what is this package supposed to do? Maybe it was replaced by another one (for example I see a wine-utils). Do a google search for winetools maybe you'll see other people that have the same problem or you might find a explanation, start with www.winehq.com

You could try to add this to the sources:
#Wine betas
deb http://wine.sourceforge.net/apt/ binary/
deb-src http://wine.sourceforge.net/apt/ source/
About nerim source, you should have that set up to "sid"
