Wine 5 refuses to install

Question

I am trying to install Wine 5 on Ubuntu 18. I already did the setup recommended on the Wine wiki (key, repo, etc.). Nothing I try seems to work.

$ sudo apt-get install --install-recommends wine-stable

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:
 wine-stable : Depends: wine-stable-i386 (= 5.0.0~bionic)
               Depends: wine-stable-amd64 (= 5.0.0~bionic) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

If I try to install wine-stable-i386 or -amd64 they also fail.

Any clues? I already removed Wine 4.

Solution

Solution is here. You have to install the OpenSUSE repo to get everything you need for Wine 5.0.

Does this answer your question? can't install wine on ubuntu (actually lubuntu) 18.04

By the time you posted this comment I had already found that solution. Thanks.
