    gpg: keyserver receive failed: Server indicated a failure
    I was hitting this error when doing "sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys DFA175A75104960E". This is a DNS issue, so I fixed it by replacing keyserver.ubuntu.com with its IP address (162.213.33.8).
    Also the tutorial is a list of the commands used in the video. So the "wine package.exe" is part of a program install example(FireAlpaca), and not actually required and CAN NOT BE COMPLETED.
    The tutorial ends at step 10.

    E: Type 'Generated' is not known on line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list
    N: Ignoring file 'winehq.list.save.1' in directory '/etc/apt/sources.list.d/' as it has an invalid filename extension
    N: Ignoring file 'winehq.list.save.2' in directory '/etc/apt/sources.list.d/' as it has an invalid filename extension
    E: The list of sources could not be read.
