I have tried every guide out there and cannot get wine i386 installed after upgrading my system from Ubuntu 18.04 to 20.04.
Following the WineHQ documentation gets me into dependency hell (requiring libfaudio0:i386 among other things, which is also impossible to install), and installing wine from the official Ubuntu repos ends up with errors like as root, please execute "apt-get install wine32-development".
Is there a different way to install it if you upgraded from 18.04 as opposed to clean 20.04 install?
EDIT:
When I run any wine command I get the following:
as root, please execute "apt-get install wine32-development"
When I try to install an msi file with wine msiexec /i /path/to/file I get the following:
003e:err:module:__wine_process_init L"C:\\windows\\syswow64\\msiexec.exe" not supported on this system
EDIT 2:
$ apt-cache policy $(dpkg -l | grep wine | grep ^ii | awk '{print $2}')
