    Does this answer your question? [can't install wine on ubuntu (actually lubuntu) 18.04](https://askubuntu.com/questions/1205550/cant-install-wine-on-ubuntu-actually-lubuntu-18-04) and [Wine: How to fix held broken packages?](https://askubuntu.com/q/1126578/) – karel Nov 21 '20 at 16:25
  • @KrishanuDev was Wine installed previously? If so, do `sudo apt purge 'winehq-*' 'wine-*'` first, then attempt to install from scratch. If that still doesn't work, then you need to contact WIneHQ upstream for support. – Thomas Ward Nov 21 '20 at 16:25

c) Activate 32 bits architecture: sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386

d) Download repository key: wget -nc https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key and then sudo apt-key add winehq.key
