Cannot install wine on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

Question

I tried to install wine like described here https://wiki.winehq.org/Ubuntu but I always get the error

winehq-stable : Depends: wine-stable (= 5.0.3~focal)

when I try to install wine-stable (via sudo apt-get install wine-stable) the following error occurs

wine-stable : Depends: wine-stable-i386 (= 5.0.3~focal)

again, going back one step, hence, trying to install wine-stable-i386 I get

wine-stable-i386:i386 : Depends: libfaudio0:i386 (>= 19.06.07) but it is not going to be installed
                         Depends: libgphoto2-6:i386 (>= 2.5.10) but it is not going to be installed

                         Recommends: libsdl2-2.0-0:i386 but it is not going to be installed
                         Recommends: libxslt1.1:i386 but it is not going to be installed

I tried different things recommended here like deleting the repository and adding it again and so on but nothing really worked. I'm using Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. Does anyone have a clue how to resolve these errors?

why don't you use the install-recommends option as mentioned by the site ? sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-stable — Koen, Dec 17 '20 at 16:11
I did! Like I already wrote, I executed the steps EXACTLY like listed on the website. — Steradiant, Dec 17 '20 at 16:24
If often happens because folks ignored (or failed to understand) a critical instruction: "If you have previously installed a Wine package from another repository, please remove it and any packages that depend on it (e.g., wine-mono, wine-gecko, winetricks) before attempting to install the WineHQ packages, as they may cause dependency conflicts." You are encountering dependency conflicts. There are several other possible reasons. — user535733, Dec 17 '20 at 16:41
@Koen Sorry if I was unclear, I first did the -install-recommends winehq-stable but it failed due to the error shown above I wanted to install the dependency like advised in the FAQ of the WineHQ Wiki. — Steradiant, Dec 17 '20 at 17:56
@user535733 There shouldn't be any wine installations left. I purged it and removed the corresponding directories https://askubuntu.com/questions/15551/how-to-remove-wine-completely — Steradiant, Dec 17 '20 at 17:58
