Adding universe to sources.list was actually the first thing I did after installation. I also installed WINE using those sources--the object of the current attempt to edit sources.list. But I've heard and read that Debian, and thus Ubuntu, maintainership for WINE is faltering. Someone on the Ubuntu project is taking over maintaining WINE, and has made packages temporarily available for download/apt-get in the interim until they work their way into the package lists/repositories. So, it's this package I'm trying to get one, from a "backport" or unofficial repository. That's the one I need to figure how to add the URI for--i.e., to figure out how Debian expects the URI to be formed. Experimentation and doc reading have thus far not produced the solution. Anyone else on this?
