Can't install the newest Wine on 18.04

Question

So I'm operating on Ubuntu 18.04 and whenever I try to install the Wine this is what I get.

$ 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.

Then when I try to add $ sudo apt-get install wine-stable-amd64 I get this.

$ sudo apt-get install wine-stable-amd64

I'm new to Ubuntu and I am not the best with it, so I'd really appreciate some assistance with what this issue means and how to correct it.

Here is the Ubuntu 18.04 method of installing Wine 5. It appears on this website.

I will detail the steps:

Enable 32 bit support:

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386

Add repositories for Wine: Download the GPG key of the official Wine package repository:

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

Add the Wine GPG key:

sudo apt-key add winehq.key

Add the official Wine package repository:

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

Download the OpenSUSE Wine repository’s GPG key:

wget -nc https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Emulators:/Wine:/Debian/xUbuntu_18.04/Release.key

Add the GPG key:

sudo apt-key add Release.key

Add the OpenSUSE Wine repository:

echo "deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Emulators:/Wine:/Debian/xUbuntu_18.04 ./" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/wine-obs.list

Update the APT package repository cache:

sudo apt update

You’re ready to install Wine 5:

sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-stable

Press Y and then press Enter

Once Wine 5 is installed, you can configure it.
