Wine cannot be installed.

[Baldovska]

I'm kinda new to the whole Linux thing so I'm probably doing something obviously wrong here...
I wanted to install Wine because many apps that I use don't have Linux support. I opened Ubuntu Software store and started downloading Wine but after a while an error appeared:

Code: Select all

Unable to install Wine: The following packages have unmet dependencies.

After a while of searching the web I found an wiki about downloading it thought terminal (https://wiki.winehq.org/Ubuntu).
I followed it but unsuccessfully. This is what terminal outputted:

-sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
nothing

-wget -nc https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key

I don't know what am I doing wrong here. Can you help me out please?

It looks like you have added the winehq repo for impish + hirsute + focal
Just add the one corresponding to your Ubuntu version (focal)
