ubuntu 18.04 Wine 5.0 various workarounds didn't work for me

Question

I've followed the WineHQ guide than tried again adding this command:

sudo apt-get install libgnutls30:i386 libldap-2.4-2:i386 libgpg-error0:i386 libxml2:i386 libasound2-plugins:i386 libsdl2-2.0-0:i386 libfreetype6:i386 libdbus-1-3:i386 libsqlite3-0:i386

than again following the replay to this

(and a bunch of other stuff, I tried posting the process but it kept getting caught in the spam filter).

$ apt list --upgradable
Listing... Done
wine-devel-amd64/eoan 5.9~eoan amd64 [upgradable from: 5.9~bionic]
wine-devel-dbg/eoan 5.9~eoan amd64 [upgradable from: 5.9~bionic]
wine-devel-dev/eoan 5.9~eoan i386 [upgradable from: 5.9~bionic]
wine-devel-i386/eoan 5.9~eoan i386 [upgradable from: 5.9~bionic]
wine-stable-amd64/eoan 5.0.0~eoan amd64 [upgradable from: 4.0.4~bionic]
wine-staging-i386/eoan 5.9~eoan i386 [upgradable from: 5.9~bionic]

I've tried to force upgrade/install them, from 9 they come down to the 6 that are listed here.

$ sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-stable

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 winehq-stable : Depends: wine-stable (= 5.0.0~eoan)

I literally don't know how ubuntu works, if anyone could walk me through this, thanks in advance

Does this answer your question? can't install wine on ubuntu (actually lubuntu) 18.04 — N0rbert, May 27 '20 at 07:03
@N0rbert no, it's the exact question I posted and said I followed and fail — killmenowplease, May 27 '20 at 15:04
Why do you have eoan on bionic? Please add output of apt-cache policy winehq-stable wine-stable wine to the question body by editing it. — N0rbert, May 27 '20 at 15:24
Welcome to Ask Ubuntu. Please don't put SOLVED, FIXED, RESOLVED etc. In the question title. The green check mark ✅ is sufficient. — user68186, May 19 '21 at 02:13

You have a mess of repositories.

Remove wrong ones with:

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

sudo apt-get install ppa-purge
sudo ppa-purge ppa:ricotz/unstable

and it will become fixed.

that solved the dependencies problem thank you, but it's still the wine-4.0.4 version, is it normal? – killmenowplease May 27 '20 at 19:11

You can optionally purge wine package and install winehq-stable instead. – N0rbert May 27 '20 at 19:31
