So when I try to install just wine it goes without a problem, however it obviously does not install wine32 which is needed for the applications I want to run.
I've already added sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
However when I try to sudo apt install wine32 I get these errors:

You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.

E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages
After a deeper look it seems that there are 2 problems:
1) Some dependencies "break" each other
2) Many dependecies are required in a version that is just not available from Ubuntu 20.04
Can I somehow force wine32 install to install dependencies with the needed versions?
Sidenote: wine broke after an upgrade from Ubuntu 18.04 to 20.04, on 18.04 I somehow got it working just fine using add architecture and the winehq repository...

When I've disabled all those repositories and purge all wine and ran autoremove and clean and autoclean and apt update, then tried to sudo apt install wine32 the output is now:

Output of apt-cache policy wine32 remains the same output of grep -ir ^deb /etc/apt/ --include=*.list is reduced by the removed repos.

The problem was caused by three locally installed packages which are PHP-related and came from deb.sury.org repository.
So the fix was the following:
If you want to remove all deb.sury.org packages - carefully use one-liner like
And then install PHP back with:
