I am trying to install wine on Linux Mint using terminal and I’m getting an error.

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 winehq-stable : Depends: wine-stable (= 5.3~bionic)
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

When I try to install the dependencies, same error but different dependency.


Linux Mint 19.3

you don't need to install winehq-stable, just wine-stable will do.

What repository did you add before attempting to install it installing it? It should be:

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

If you added anything other than this in attempt to install wine, remove the link from your repositories via the software manager, add the above one instead, then run sudo apt-get update before trying to install wine again.
