When I run sudo apt upgrade, I get a load of errors than I can't fix:

I installed wine recently and it worked, but at some point recently I tried to run sudo apt update and this happened. I have tried to search the problem online and followed the steps but the problem remains. I also tried to uninstall wine, wine32 and wine64 but that didn't work either.

WineHQ altered their PGP key. You'll need to follow the steps at [WineHQ's documentation](https://wiki.winehq.org/Ubuntu) to readd the signing key and make sure the repository uses that key.

WineHQ has altered their PGP key. You'll need to follow the steps at WineHQ's documentation and add the keyrings (at you own risk; external source)

Type this commands to download and add the repository keys:

sudo mkdir -pm755 /etc/apt/keyrings
sudo wget -O /etc/apt/keyrings/winehq-archive.key https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
