Cannot install wine 6.0.2 on Ubuntu 18.04.6

Post by RonChristie »

I'm trying to do an install of the latest stable version of Wine on the latest version of Ubuntu 18.04 (18.04.6) and I get the following error:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
winehq-stable : Depends wine-stable (= 6.0.2~bionic-1)
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I'm relatively new to Ubuntu (much more familiar with RedHat products) and this message is essentially meaningless to me. Can anyone help me to unpack it?
Thanks!

I had read that article before posting here, and I'm still at a loss as to what exactly it's saying.
The more helpful post relating to how to get wine's current stable release to actually run on Ubuntu 18.04 is at:

Cheers to all,
