Ubuntu 18.10 Cannot install wine-staging

I had previously installed wine-stable, but for a particular program I wanted to run it was recommended that I run wine-staging. So I uninstalled wine-stable, and tried to install wine-staging as normal.

When I run

sudo apt install wine-staging

I get

 Reading package lists... Done

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 resolve the situation:



The following packages have unmet dependencies:

 wine-staging : Depends: wine-staging-amd64 (= 4.0~rc7~cosmic) but it is not going to be installed

                Depends: wine-staging-i386 (= 4.0~rc7~cosmic)

E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

So when I try to install the dependencies, I just keep on getting further down a rabbit hole of things I need but for some unexplained reason cannot install.

So for instance, when I tried to install wine-staging-amd64, I get

This is mainline Ubuntu, on an installation less than a week old. I haven't done any messing with my repos, and I've spent the past hour reading all kinds of solutions that seemed to work for everybody else, but do not work for me, such as sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386. I've tried installing the .deb directly from the winehq website, but Ubuntu Software install progress just goes from 0-100 in a second like it's installed, and then presents me with the install button again with no error indicating something went wrong. With gdebi, it tells me it's got a dependency that cannot be satisfied - which is itself. I'm not a new Linux user, and I've never run into such a ridiculous web of issues trying to install a simple package. Is there something going on within the WINE project right now, or am I somehow doing something wrong? This issue is seriously testing my patience.

Just checking, for sure you have added wine repository, right?

@LeonidMew yessir. I followed step-by-step the installation guide found on winehq after installing the “normal” way didn’t work. It didn’t seem to change anything.

Important info for people who want to help out: 1) the output of apt policy wine-staging 2) Screenshot of the "other software" tab from Softtware&Updates, or other compact way to show what repos you have added.

I ended up reinstalling Ubuntu and going through the steps on winehq once more. I’m no longer having the issue, and was able to install wine-staging with no problems. I wish I knew what I did to cause this error, or how to replicate it, but at least it’s fixed.

I had similar issue. I forgot to add the wine repository key.

$ wget -qO- https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/Release.key | sudo apt-key add -

then add the repository

$ sudo apt-add-repository 'deb http://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ bionic main'

and install your flavor of wine

$ sudo apt install winehq-staging

or $ sudo apt install winehq-stable

Checkout the new version

$ wine --version

wine-4.0
