Recently I tried to install Wine, but I tried to install Jammy version by accident, and now, when I try this command
sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-staging
I get this output
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... 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 to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
winehq-staging : Depends: wine-staging (= 7.6~jammy-1)
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
How can I solve it? I don't get any errors with sudo apt update or sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt update

If I try to unhold all held packages I get this output
sudo apt-mark unhold $(apt-mark showhold)
E: No packages found
I've tried with these aptitude commands
sudo aptitude install winehq-staging
sudo aptitude -f install winehq-staging
but they don't seem to solve anything, the actions that aptitude do are just keep the packages at their current version.
I downloaded winehq-staging_7.6~focal-1_amd64.deb and I got this output
sudo dpkg -i --force-all winehq-staging_7.6~focal-1_amd64.deb

dpkg: winehq-staging: dependency problems, but configuring anyway as you requested:
winehq-staging depends on wine-staging (= 7.6~focal-1); however:

but wine seems to still being unavailable. I tried to remove the broken package using Synaptic Package Manager, the first try it was unable to remove it, then I did it again and the broken package seems to be already removed. But I keep getting this output
sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-staging

and sudo apt update keeps showing
Hit:10 https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu jammy InRelease
I just got the git repository and build it with make and seems that that solved the problem. But I still having the https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu jammy InRelease line.
