Bug ID: 52459
           Summary: Wine won't install or upgrade on Linux MInt 20.02 or
                    20.03 Cinnamon desktop
           Product: Wine
           Version: 7.0
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: blocker
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]
      Distribution: Mint

Wine 7 will not install on Linux Mint 20.03 or 20.02 running the Cinnamon
desktop, either as in upgrade from Wine 6.02 or as a fresh install.

Trying to install through the Mint update manager just deletes all files in the
/opt/wine-stable/bin folder except:

wine
wine64
wine64-preloader
wine-preloader

Trying to install via the command line with:

sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-stable

results in:

Reading package lists...
Building dependency tree...
Reading state information...
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-stable : Depends: wine-stable (= 7.0.0.0~focal-1)
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

We then get into a series.  Trying to install wine-stable results in:

wine-stable : Depends: wine-stable-i386 (= 7.0.0.0~focal-1)

then:

wine-stable-i386:i386 : Depends: libsane:i386 (>= 1.0.24) but it is not going
to be installed

then:

libsane:i386 : Depends: libsnmp35:i386 (>= 5.8+dfsg) but it is not going to be
installed

then:

libsnmp35:i386 : Depends: libmysqlclient21:i386 (>= 8.0.11) but it is not going
to be installed

and finally:

mysql-common 5.8+1.0.5ubuntu2 [Not candidate version]
E: Package 'mysql-common:i386' has no installation candidate

That latter two errors don't even make any sense since wine has nothing to do
with mysql.

These errors were reproduced on both Mint 20.03 and 2.02 with the Cinnamon
desktop on two different computers.  However, wine 7 did install successfully
on a laptop running Mine 20.03 with the Xfce desktop.
