Wine not working

Post by Bungalow »

Hi!
I am new to Linux (migrated from XP a few days ago), and I am generally very happy with Linux mint.
I am running Gloria x64 Edition. The only problem I have with my installation,
is that I can't get Wine to work. (I need it for Spotify)

Here's what happens:

[#user]@desktop ~ $ sudo apt-get install wine
[sudo] password for [#user]:
