I have a desperate problem. I really need wineHQ, and I can't download or install. I can download other apps, but wineHQ won't download. I can't install it by running sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-stable ; it says, "unable to locate package". I have ubuntu 21.10. I am trying to download it from https://wiki.winehq.org/Download . I am trying to get the ubuntu version of it. I have a working internet connection because I download other apps and install all the time. I have dowloaded and installed several apps since I first ran into this problem. I also can browser the web without any problems. I also downloaded some other little things from the wineHQ site, I just can't get the app itself.

You should add the repository before executing the apt command.
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
wget -nc https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key
sudo apt-key add winehq.key
sudo add-apt-repository 'deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ impish main'
sudo apt update
sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-stable

The Debian package is simply called "wine", not "winehq"
