When installing WineHQ:
#apt install winehq-devel
Apt started uninstalling every package present on my system. I was too late to
stop it, the desktop manager and keyboard manager were already uninstalled.

Such a problem can occur when you have added third party repositories, which
replace Ubuntu packages with non multiarch ready packages. Apt starts
uninstalling the 64 bit packages, because those packages do not indicate that
the 32 bit and 64 bit version can be installed at the same time.

This does not occur with the default Ubuntu packages. You either have to remove
those 3rd party repos, or tell the authors, who created those packages, that
they can not simply replace multiarch ready package with non multiarch ready
equivalents.

Unless you can reproduce this problem with a fresh Ubuntu installation and
without any third party packages, I would consider this bug as invalid.

Really? I did not know something like that could happen, but I have not
installed any repos only a few PPA's which live in a file and only include one
package. Could this be a problem?

I'll try to reproduce the error on a fresh install

I have a similar situation when using Synaptic (I was notified about the
uninstallation first so I cancelled). However, when I use apt via terminal, it
only tells me that I have held broken packages and doesn't install anything.
