Hi,

Use 'MX-Tools'-->'Repo Manager'-->and go to the tab where it says 'Individual Sources' and then you can simply uncheck the box for the Trixie Wine Repo.

At the end of the day it's just a line of text in a text file. One could comment out that line with any decent text editor or -- and only because it seems to be the only entry in that file -- better yet one could delete the file "winehq-trixie.sources" from that directory.

Yes, of course! I just wanted to make it as easy as possible to solve the issue at hand given the OPs level of experience. Deleting the entry from sources.list.d will still leave the keyring so it's also an incomplete solution, I just picked an easier incomplete solution..

...And there's nothing wrong with that. Your answer is perfectly correct. I'm pointing out that using a bespoke tool to edit apt-get repo sources isn't necessary and that, in general, making a configuration change to any Linux system is a matter of finding and editing a text file. Editing a repo list doesn't demand a special RepoListinator tool any more than changing a bootloader config needs a BootLoaderinator tool. As OP spends more time in MX and perhaps in other Linux distributions, it's useful to know both (1) how the MX toolkit makes managing the system simple as well as (2) how to make changes without those tools. If nothing else it underlines the things in MX Linux that other distros don't have.
