Following the directions here: https://wiki.winehq.org/Ubuntu to install on KUbuntu 18.04. It all goes fine until I do:
sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-stable
I get this:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done

requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable

E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
When I install wine-staging-amd64 manually it goes okay, but wine-staging-i386 does not. So I tried this:
sudo aptitude why-not --with-recommends wine-stable-i386:i386
Not currently installed
The candidate version 4.0.3~bionic has priority optional
No dependencies require to remove wine-stable-i386:i386
I don't know where to go from here. Any help is appreciated.
Unable to install
Re: Unable to install
Thank you, I saw that. I just don't know how to do that. I did try and got a couple levels deep. I ended up here:
sudo apt install wine-stable-i386

I really wanted to make this work. I went as far as re-installing KUbuntu 18.04 today just in case I'd done something to my system that was causing the problem. Are you telling me that a fresh install of the latest Ubuntu can't install the current wine-stable? And there are no instructions on how to make it work for people like me who don't know how to do things like "find an i386 package whose version exactly matches the one already installed."?
I'm reaching end-of-life on a game I really enjoy playing. My hope is that the latest wine would allow me to continue playing. At this point I just don't know what to do other than walk away. I've tried everything I can think of.

Re: Unable to install
Okay I got it working. Looks like it was an issue of bad timing. When I looked, the site said that winehq-stable was 4.0x, and the instructions said that I only need to install the custom FAudio packages for 4.5 and above, so I thought I didn't need those. But apparently I caught it on the same day that version 5.0 was released, so it was required after all. Installing the custom FAudio packages allowed me to get it installed.
