I admit to being a novice at this but have been able to get Wine up and running for years. This mess has me completely confused.
I ran this

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-devel : Depends: wine-devel (= 4.10~bionic)
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
I did see this at the beginning and tried to install the libfaudio0 and that seems to be where my confusion started. I tried downloading and installing locally as suggested but that didn't work. Did I even download the right thing? It seemed to be but who knows? When that didn't work I tried to add the repositories and go that route but still nothing works.
Beginning with Wine 4.5, the wine-devel packages for Ubuntu 18.04, 18.10, and 19.04 require libfaudio0 as a dependency. Since the distro does not provide it, libfaudio0 packages can be downloaded from the OBS. See viewtopic.php?f=8&t=32192 for details
I don't play games on the machine. I just wanted to run a Journaling/Writing/Organizing software (TheJournal8). Nothing in available Linux programs even tries to come close. I really don't want to dump the entire OS and go back to an old version just to get Wine to work nor do I want to find an alternative distro because Peppermint 10 works great, Wine seems to be the problem.
Any suggestions?
