Please help me out what's going wrong

Does this answer your question? How to install software or upgrade from an old unsupported release? — VidathD, Jun 29 '20 at 14:50

You need not go into all that trouble.

May I suggest, work from your personal account, not root. Whatever root privilege you 'll need, obtain with sudo.

Try the following:

sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:whateveryouadded
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install -f
sudo apt autoremove
sudo apt install wine32 wine64

You should be able to run wine with no problem afterwards.

Hope I have helped :)

The problem is with the repositories being moved as 19.04 is unsupported. That won't solve it – VidathD Jun 29 '20 at 14:20
I would upgrade to 20.04. 19.04 gave me various problems as well, I had to switch back to 18.04, before 20.04 LTS. – Giorgos Saridakis Jun 29 '20 at 14:25
so @Sasuke Uchiha isn't there any way around it ? – Kodeforce Jun 29 '20 at 14:32

@Giorgos Saridakis this is how we're looking
root@miarhpe:/home/ephraim# sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa: 'deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ disco main' Error: need a single repository as argument – Kodeforce Jun 29 '20 at 14:33
remove the repository as suggested in the answer below. but that's the least of your problems now. – Giorgos Saridakis Jun 29 '20 at 14:44
@Ephraim-the-program why don't you just upgrade to 20.04? that is the best way – VidathD Jun 29 '20 at 14:45
@GiorgosSaridakis wow ! how far does it really go ? – Kodeforce Jun 29 '20 at 14:46
@Ephraim-the-program well there is a way. See https://askubuntu.com/a/91821/1073514 – VidathD Jun 29 '20 at 14:48

Your best approach would be a step-by-step troubleshooting procedure.

Step 1:

Open Softwares & Updates
Note the error message if any
Navigate to the Other Software's tab
Remove ppa and or ng/security software which were in the error

Step 2:

Open Terminal and type/input:

sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Step 3:

Retry the wine installation

Within the Terminal type/input:

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-stable

This won't help. Disco Dingo (19.04) release has met its EOL and the repositories are no longer available. – devGeek Jun 29 '20 at 14:54
@Ephraim-the-program I would suggest following karel 's comment to upgrading to 20.04 to the original question. – devGeek Jun 29 '20 at 14:59

Hi there, thanks for contibuting. PPAs often contain more up to date versions than the Ubuntu repos, especially with something like wine, where support for various features is always evolving. – Jeremy Jul 11 '20 at 07:03
