How to update wget to 1.16 on WSL?
I am currently trying to use Bazel on my WSL installation, but I am getting the error:
wget: unrecognized option '--show-progress'
Usage: wget [OPTION]... [URL]...
Try `wget --help' for more options.
I have searched around, and found that the --show-progress option was only added in wget=1.16, and I only have wget=1.15. I am not sure how I can update to 1.16 though.
sudo apt install wget=1.16 fails saying that
E: Version '1.16' for 'wget' was not found
and apt-cache policy wget doesn't mention anything about anything past 1.15:
wget:
Installed: 1.15-1ubuntu1.14.04.3
Candidate: 1.15-1ubuntu1.14.04.3
Version table:
*** 1.15-1ubuntu1.14.04.3 0

100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
1.15-1ubuntu1 0
500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages
Does Ubuntu have support for wget 1.16? How can I install it? Thanks!
