I have been trying to install wine but I encountered issues like

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 winehq-stable : Depends: wine-stable (= 3.0.1~xenial)
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

and got solutions from How can I fix apt error "W: Target Packages ... is configured multiple times"? and How do I resolve unmet dependencies after adding a PPA? but nothing solved it.

So I read somewhere that you can install wine through playonlinux from. So I installed wine using this reference. However, I am unable to figure out how to install wine from playonlinux.

So I found it from PlayOnLinux cannot find wine (from Wine) and ran

sudo apt-get install wine

but I get this error:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 wine : Depends: wine1.6
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

How to resolve?

The output of the commands is below:

sudo apt-get install playonlinux

...

sudo apt-get install -f

...

$ apt-cache policy "$(dpkg -S "$(which wine)" | cut -d : -f 1)"
...
N: unable to locate package

$ wine --version
...
wine: command not found

    It is unclear what you exactly did. Please add output of the sudo apt-get install playonlinux, sudo apt-get install -f, apt-cache policy \dpkg -S $(which wine)` ,wine --version`. – N0rbert Jun 15 '18 at 08:59

    @N0rbert: apt-cache policy "$(dpkg -S "$(which wine)" | cut -d : -f 1)" would be better. – David Foerster Jun 15 '18 at 09:05
  • Thanks Norbert and david, i have added the screenshots of the output of your commands – Techdive Jun 15 '18 at 09:26
  • Still unclear. @DavidFoerster, thank you for idea. Techdive, please add the information to your question (copy and paste commands exactly). – N0rbert Jun 15 '18 at 10:04
  • If there's no wine executable could you please [edit] your question to include the output of apt-cache policy wine\*? And could you please post text files, dialogue messages, and program output listings as text, not as images? To achieve the latter two you can either 1) select, copy & paste the dialogue text or terminal content or 2) save the program output to a file and use that. Longer listings (the editor will tell you what’s too long) should be uploaded to a pastie service and linked to in the question. Thanks. – David Foerster Jun 16 '18 at 00:07
