Not sure why Wine for Focal depends on Wine for Groovy

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 (= 6.0.0~groovy-1)
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Not sure why Wine for Focal depends on Wine for Groovy

it doesn't and I don't know why you added it to your /etc/apt/sources.list. If you're on focal, remove groovy from your /etc/apt/sources.list.

I resolved the problem ( winehq-staging : Depends: wine-staging (= 6.3~groovy-1)) with these steps:
1. Installed Aptitude (so to have some help when dependencies are problematic)
2. In terminal "wine --version"
It told me that wine isn't found, but can be installed and it gave me two commands to choose:
sudo apt install wine # version 5.0-3ubuntu1
sudo apt install wine-development # version 5.5-5ubuntu1
3. I chose the second one and typed:
sudo apt install wine-development
4. Then I decided to check the version by typing:
wine --version
5. And it shown me this:
it looks like wine32-development is missing, you should install it.
as root, please execute "apt-get install wine32-development"
wine-5.5 (Ubuntu 5.5-5ubuntu1)
6. And that's what I did. Typed as root:
apt-get install wine32-development
So it installed a lot of libraries i386 included etc.
7. Then I returned to https://wiki.winehq.org/Ubuntu where I stopped at the final command "sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-stable" because I had this problem with dependencies and I decided to try it again. Typed:
sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-stable
8. And then I checked my wine version on Ubuntu 20.10 and it was 6.0. Yey. I'm not sure weather that is the final version of wine for Ubuntu 20.10, but it is the latest I could install.
