I used the official install guide:    Unfortunately, at the last step, I got the following error:  ~$ sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-devel   Terminal output ->  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-devel : depends on: wine-devel (=4.19~bionic) E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.   I tried to uninstall all wine packages one by one before I re-installed it, now I m stuck with the wine-devel package, I cant delete for some reason.  Any ideas what could fix my problem?  (Chose the development-branch (winehq-devel) instead stable-branch for I wanted to have the latest version 4.19 -> reason for trying to update to 4.19 was the announcement of: More stateblock support in WineD3D.)

I have just noticed that Wine (and a number of other packages) have shifted their versioning scheme to something like:  1:1.6.2-0ubuntu3   I understand everything after the 1:... But what does the 1: refer to?  It doesn't seem to mirror the major version. Looking at a list of pending upgrades, there are versions like: 2:4.1.3... and there are plenty of packages without the #: prefix.  What's going on?

When installing Wine on 64-bit Ubuntu 12.04, both 64-bit support and 32-bit support get installed. If I run wine foo.exe where foo.exe is a 64-bit-aware installer, it thinks it's on 64-bit Windows. This would be fine if this mode didn't fail, but in my case, it does (yet the Wine database suggests the app I'm trying to install should work, presumably as a 32-bit app).  How do I tell Wine (and Winetricks) to use Wine in 32-bit-only mode?
