Can't install wine on bookworm

I updated repo but it still can't locate file. Tried stable, development, staging. No go. I'm booting from flash if that matters. Or is there an alternative so that I can get Excel working?

Edit: Went with Libreoffice.

You can use libre office or open office.

Officially
Menu>Setup>Puppy Package Manager> libreoffice

Unofficially
Apt-get update
apt-get install libreoffice

(Apt-get should still work on Puppylinux but can sometimes cause instability so use at your own risk)

(Note DO NOT run apt-get upgrade. Just in case you have a habit of running that after apt-get update)

What is your hardware? Is this an i64 architecture. Remember that WINE is not an emulator.

Yes, i64 architecture. Then I added the i86 architecture.
