Solution

Ok, I've finally installed wine32 and all it dependencies on 20.04. The problem was here:

"Important" and "Recommendned" updates was disabled. They activates extra ubuntu repos, where newer version of i386-family presents. But, after installing, upgrading and rebooting I come to another irrelevant issue with initramfs, but this is different story.

Same shit, this chain goes down to: ``` The following packages have unmet dependencies: libsystemd0 : Breaks: libsystemd0:i386 (!= 245.4-4ubuntu3.1) but 245.4-4ubuntu3 is to be installed libsystemd0:i386 : Breaks: libsystemd0 (!= 245.4-4ubuntu3) but 245.4-4ubuntu3.1 is installed libpulse0 : Breaks: libpulse0:i386 (!= 1:13.99.1-1ubuntu3.2) but 1:13.99.1-1ubuntu3 is to be installed libpulse0:i386 : Breaks: libpulse0 (!= 1:13.99.1-1ubuntu3) but 1:13.99.1-1ubuntu3.2 is installed ``` I've already asked this on winehq forum.

Please don't put "solved" in the title, instead accept the answer you found the most useful, which you've already done :)

My god, this fixed the problem, thank you !

[sharcashmo]

OMG! it worked, too! I've been looking for weeks for a solution

Anyone knows how to enable this option from CLI (directly in files)? Because I don't have those checkboxes in this tab... (using Cinnamon)

[broomrider]

You can checkout /etc/apt/sources.list. My current active repos are: ``` deb archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal main restricted deb archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal universe deb archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal multiverse deb security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal-security multiverse main restricted universe deb archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal-updates multiverse main restricted universe ```

This is my sources.list → pastebin.com/1sxKvEY5 and I believe I have all branches as you mentioned, the only difference is I have groovy. I still can't install wine32 without going through dependency hell..

[broomrider]

I think the focal-groovy diff is the key.

How do you get to the above screen?
