So I started following the instructions on: https://wiki.winehq.org/Ubuntu

So I did:

wget -nc https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/Release.key

sudo apt-key add Release.key

sudo apt-add-repository https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/

Then after doing an update, I tried to install using:

sudo apt-get install --install-recommends winehq-stable

But I got

Reading package lists... Done

Building dependency tree       

Reading state information... Done

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have

requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable

distribution that some required packages have not yet been created

or been moved out of Incoming.

The following information may help to resolve the situation:



The following packages have unmet dependencies:

 winehq-stable : Depends: wine-stable (= 3.0.4~cosmic)

E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

And I can't install wine-stable, as it tells me to install wine-stable-i386, which I also can't install because:

I don't know how to fix this, please help.

I have also tried doing sudo apt-get install -f, but it returns

Edit: Also did sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
Edit2: wine-staging works

Do you need a version newer than what is in the baseline repos?

If not, remove the ppa you added, and just

sudo apt install wine-staging

You can install it easily with the "Software center" application, that is used by every Ubuntu based system. Launch the software, in the searchbox type "Wine" . Install the "Q4Wine" version.
You are ready!
When you start it, you will have the "WineHQ" and other wine based apps - wine mines, wine regedit, wine control panel and other Windows stuff.
