            Bug ID: 51128
           Summary: Linux Mint 20.x: Cant install wine.
           Product: Wine
           Version: 6.8
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: trivial
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org
          Reporter: dushansecondary(a)gmail.com
      Distribution: ---

Trying to install wine with "wine-installer" fails with the following error:

----------------------------------------------------------
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 wine-installer : Depends: wine
                  Recommends: wine64 but it is not going to be installed
                  Recommends: wine32
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. 

----------------------------------------------------------

Installing using the method on your website fails with:

----------------------------------------------------------
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 winehq-stable : Depends: wine-stable (= 6.0.0~focal-1)
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
----------------------------------------------------------

We discussed about this bug on a Linux mint forum, here is a short statement:

"...and I found some bug (?) in apt relating to the packages wine-installer and
wine, which might be related to your message: "wine-installer depends on wine
but wine isn't going to be installed" (why not??), and the fact that I can
install wine-installer without installing wine, even though the package
software tells me that wine is required for wine-installer."

I guess i'am reporting 2 bugs at the same time? Not being able to install it
myself and the "wine-installer depends: wine" bug. Sorry for that.
