Bug ID: 48513
           Summary: The following packages have unmet dependencies:
                    winehq-stable : Depends: wine-stable (= 5.0.0~bionic)

          Severity: normal

Currently users can't install packages for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS while following
your official guide (https://wiki.winehq.org/Ubuntu). So the below steps:

```
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386

wget -nc https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key
sudo apt-key add winehq.key

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

sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-stable
```

end with

```
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 (= 5.0.0~bionic)
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

The problem is with your system, not the packages.

You are probably missing FAudio, which is now a dependency for wine-stable, as
stated clearly at the top of https://wiki.winehq.org/Ubuntu. The wiki also
directs users to https://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=32192 for
instructions on how to install FAudio for bionic. Apparently you overlooked
that part.

If that doesn't fix it, follow the instructions in
https://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#How_do_I_solve_dependency_errors_when_trying_to_...
to figure out exactly what dependencies you are missing. If you need further
help, ask for it on the forum. Bugzilla is not for user support.

Your documentation was great many times.
But currently it is bad.
Please write it in the reproducible way. Ubuntu 18.04 LTS will be supported
until 2023, so it is absolutely expected that Wine users need normal
documentation.
My version is presented in the AskUbuntu answer -
https://askubuntu.com/a/1205596/66509 .

In anyway thank you for all your great work!

Could you please explain why you do not provide complete, simple and actual
official documentation for installation of Wine on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (will be
supported until 2023)?

Yours great comment 1 is not suitable for newbies, is not it?

Could you please kindly extend it in reproducible way to wiki-page?
Why should I care about Wine support on Ubuntu more, than you care?

The wiki page, forum post, and FAQ are all designed for newbies. Your version
on AskUbuntu merely repeats what is stated in our instructions.

People who don't bother to read the directions are always going to have
problems.
