I can't download bc of "unmet dependencies"

Post by edan »

I am running Linux Mint 19.3
I have run the steps given but have the obstacle of:
"winehq-stable : Depends: wine-stable (= 4.0.3~xenial)
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages."

This has been covered many times on the forum.

The way to solve dependency issues is to work your way backwards. Try installing wine-stable, see what apt complains about, then try installing that. Repeat until you reach whatever is blocking everything.

This is what apt is complaining about...
"The following packages have unmet dependencies:
wine-stable : Depends: wine-stable-amd64 (= 4.0.3~xenial) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: wine-stable-i386 (= 4.0.3~xenial)
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages."
How would I go about installing these?

According to the WineHQ Wiki you need the bionic packages.
