I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 20.04 (from Ubuntu 18.04). During the upgrade, I noticed some dependencies issues related to libwine-developement package. After upgrade, I tried to update and upgrade the packages to see if dependencies get fixed.

You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libwine-development : Breaks: libwine-development:i386 (!= 5.5-3ubuntu1) but 3.6-1 is installed
libwine-development:i386 : Breaks: libwine-development (!= 3.6-1) but 5.5-3ubuntu1 is installed
wine32-development:i386 : Depends: libwine-development:i386 (= 5.5-3ubuntu1) but 3.6-1 is installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
Also, tried to fix things by:
sudo apt autoremove

The dependency problem seems to persist. I would like to fix the dependency issue by getting rid of broken packages and getting a stable wine package. Can someone help me to fix the issue?
Update 1:
I tried funicorn's suggestion, and here is the output so far.

No dependencies require to remove libwine-development
and, this command tried to solve dependencies but ended up in an error:
