I am having severe wine dependency problems. This started when I did sudo apt-get purge wine*
. I am not able to install it back. Please help, wine is very essential for me.
32-bit architecture is enabled
Output of
sudo apt-get update
, just for you to look at my repositories list : https://pastebin.com/416d1fRUOutput of normal
winehq-stable
installation: https://pastebin.com/JvK1MrCbOutput of
winehq-stable
installation using my favourite dependency tool: https://pastebin.com/tKBpRbe5.
If I choose "Y" in the first prompt it will do nothing and just exit. Then, in the second prompt if I choose "Y" it completely ruins my system by removing everything. If I choose "n", then it will ask again and again to do the same thing. Had to "q" abort.Using synaptic:

I successfully solved this issue with technastic_tc and user.dz.
I had accidentally disabled
bionic-updates
, I then re-enabledbionic-updates
repository fromsoftware-properties-gtk
.Voila ! I again tried
sudo aptitude install winehq-stable
. It worked !!!Thanks a lot.
