Dependencies Unfulfilled wine

Post by oscarcm1 »

Hi guys, i have a problem when installing wine stable.
show this message:

oscar@Y700:~$ sudo apt-get install --install-recommends winehq-stable
[sudo] password for oscar:
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 (= 2.0.1~xenial)
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Any help please, thanks.

Try using aptitude instead of apt - see Ask Ubuntu: E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages ...

For such a popular distribution - apt is an extremely clunky package manager IMHO... :roll:
