I've been having strange issues with Ubuntu 20.04 since I installed it. Most recently, I was trying to use wine to play games. Wine wasn't working as normal and kept failing with strange bugs. So, I uninstalled it with sudo apt-get remove wine and tried to reinstall. This failed as well, with a message about broken held packages (I didn't think at the time to save the messages, so please bear with me) and dependency problems. Something along the lines of wine requires wine64/wine32 which will not be installed.
I was totally confused. Anyway, after a couple hours of googling, nothing was working, so I attempted to install these packages manually with a couple sudo apt-gets. However, when I attempted to install wine64, this happened:
$ sudo apt-get install wine64

Without really reading the above, I just hit Y and a bunch of programs I use were removed, like libreoffice and firefox. Panicking, I reinstalled them with sudo apt-get, but now firefox is stuck in version 75 (Current version is 84), libreoffice is also behind a few versions, and nothing I do will allow me to even "see" the new versions of these packages. Apt-get doesn't seem to even know they exist and keeps telling me that I'm at the latest version of each package. I installed synaptic and aptitude (they installed normally) and they also tell me I have the latest versions of each package. Oddly, other packages like discord have installed completely normally. At this point, I've no idea whats going on.
Any help would be appreciated. I'll edit this post with the output of any commands that people want me to run.
