Are you using Ubuntu 20.04 (Focal)? If so, the older version of Wine is provided by Ubuntu itself.
Wine can't do anything about this.

That's why WineHQ has its own repository for Ubuntu 20.04, which includes Wine 8.0.
Read the WineHQ wiki for more information.

If you are using a different version of Ubuntu, post the output of :

Code: Select all

apt policy
