i am trying to install wine and accidentally typed

sudo wget -NP /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/dists/jammy/winehq-jammy.sources

which is for ubuntu version 22.04 jammy jellyfish. I am currently running 20.04 Focal Fossa. Now when i type

sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-stable

it gives me the error

eading package lists... Done Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done 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. winehq-stable : Depends: wine-stable (= 8.0.2~jammy-1) E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

anyone know how to fix this Thanks in advance

  • Does this answer your question? How do I resolve unmet dependencies after adding a PPA? – karel Dec 13 '23 at 16:45

    You can delete this repository from Software & Sources, and then add the correct repository – Archisman Panigrahi Dec 13 '23 at 17:22
  • Thanks for your reply how to i go about deleting a repository and adding one. sorry if this is simple but i dont have much expirience – bob Dec 13 '23 at 17:24
  • Open the program called Software & Sources. You will find the list of all the repositories you have added in the "Other Repositories" tab. There, find the Wine repository and delete it. Afterwards, run sudo apt update, and install wine from the terminal – Archisman Panigrahi Dec 13 '23 at 17:33
  • I deleted the repository from the Software and Updates app then when i use 'sudo apt update' this shows up 'Hit:9 https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu focal InRelease Hit:10 https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu jammy InRelease' – bob Dec 13 '23 at 17:49

    A compatible version of Wine is already available from the Software Center. Mucking about with cryptic install commands and "sources" and other faff that you don't understand is needless. Get out of the habit of looking at the internet for software until you have enough skill to do so safely. – user535733 Dec 13 '23 at 19:42

    Please edit your question and post the output of cd /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ && ls – Archisman Panigrahi Dec 13 '23 at 21:19
