Im new to linux (ubuntu 16.04 lts) and I have been trying to install wine for Sketchup pro 8

I did the follwoing step to install the wine 

1. sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386  #to enable 32 bit
2.wget -nc https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key 
  #to get the key
3. sudo apt-key add winehq.key #to add the key
4.sudo apt-add-repository 'deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ xenial main'
5. sudo apt update
6.sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-stable

After the step 6 I got the error umet dependencies

The following packages have unmet dependencies.
wine-stable : Depends: wine-stable-i386 (= 4.0.3~xenial)
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I tried to install it with aptitude to resolve the dependencies

7.sudo aptitude install winehq-stable

But then I got the error

I had try to just simply install wine by removing the winehq repository but still getting the dependency issue. I even try to manually install the dependency from this post

But still im getting more error to resolve the dependency issue

This may be a 16.04 specific issue. I've had issues installing various programs on 16.04 due to unmet dependencies before. If you can, install Ubuntu 18.04 and try again, as adding 18.04 packages to a 16.04 system will make a broken Ubuntu system. I ran a simulated install on my 18.04 VM and everything seems to have worked, not quite sure about 16.04 as I don't have a system image to work with right now and downloading one will take all day.
