can't install wine64 on ubuntu 20.04

Post by samsam22 »

Hi everyone! I'm new to linux, so there might be an easy fix to my issue.

I've been trying to install wine64 on ubuntu 20.04 (CPU op-modes 32-bit, 64-bit) but I keep on meeting the same problem.

I write

Code: Select all

sudo apt update
sudo apt install wine64
but then i get this answer

Code: Select all

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:
 wine64 : Depends: libwine (= 5.0-3ubuntu1) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
installing wine32 does work though. I've been trying to fix broken packages but libwine is nowhere to be found. I've uninstalled and reinstalled wine a numerous amount of time, too. And I haven't found any similar issues on internet so now I just don't know what to do.

The wine version you're trying to install is over two years old and a distro package, not a WineHQ one. If that's what you really want, ask for help on the Ubuntu forum.

If you'd prefer current Wine, follow the instructions on https://wiki.winehq.org/Ubuntu to install the WineHQ packages.
