I installed wine64 using sudo apt-get install wine64 and when I run wine --version it sends in the terminal that I need wine32 because it's missing. I do sudo apt-get install wine32 as the message suggests and it sends this error message:

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: apt : Depends: adduser but it is not going to be installed coreutils : PreDepends: libselinux1 (>= 3.1~) but it is not going to be installed dpkg : PreDepends: libselinux1 (>= 3.1~) but it is not going to be installed findutils : PreDepends: libselinux1 (>= 3.1~) but it is not going to be installed grep : PreDepends: libpcre3 but it is not installable init : PreDepends: systemd-sysv login : PreDepends: libpam-runtime but it is not going to be installed PreDepends: libpam-modules but it is not going to be installed sed : PreDepends: libselinux1 (>= 3.1~) but it is not going to be installed shim-signed : Depends: grub-efi-amd64-signed but it is not going to be installed or grub-efi-arm64-signed but it is not installable Depends: grub2-common (>= 2.04-1ubuntu24) tar : PreDepends: libselinux1 (>= 3.1~) but it is not going to be installed util-linux : PreDepends: libmount1 (>= 2.37.2) but it is not going to be installed PreDepends: libselinux1 (>= 3.1~) but it is not going to be installed E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.

How can I fix this? (using version 22.04.)

  • Did you add any ppa/external repository for wine? – Archisman Panigrahi Aug 04 '22 at 04:03

    The edit to the question that points to another question is a red herring. It is irrelevant. I have the same problem and I have no broken packages. – Liam Proven Jan 01 '23 at 12:44
