I want to use LTspice on my Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. But it is not available for Ubuntu, so my Professor suggested me to download Wine.

I did all the steps as mentioned in https://wiki.winehq.org/Ubuntu.

However in the last step, when I type sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-stable

I am getting this error :

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
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:
 winehq-stable : Depends: wine-stable (= 5.0.2~focal)
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

How can I resolve this?

Follow these steps :

1.Enable 32-bit architecture

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386

2.Download and install the repository key

wget -nc https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key; sudo apt-key add winehq.key

3.Add wine repository

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

NOTE: Replace focal with eoan for Ubuntu 19.10, bionic for Ubuntu 18.04, xenial for Ubuntu 16.04

4.Add PPA for the required libfaudio0 library

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:cybermax-dexter/sdl2-backport

5.Do an update

sudo apt-get update

6.Install Wine 5.0 stable

sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-stable

Possibly some packages has to be downgraded, if you run down through dependencies, you will see something like 'libxxx (ver 20.04ubuntu9) installed, but (ver. 20.04) needed'. To resolve it on 20.04LTS focal put/create in file /etc/apt/preferences:

Package: *
Pin: release a=focal
Pin-Priority: 1001`

execute:

apt update
apt upgrade
apt install wine-stable

optionally clean /etc/apt/preferences and apt update; apt upgrade
