I'm trying to install Wine, but Synaptic shows that the package is broken. I tried installing it using the terminal, but it shows this: The following packages have unmet dependencies:  winehq-stable : Depends: wine-stable (= 6.0.0~focal-1) E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.  I tried running these commands: sudo apt-add-repository --remove 'deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ cosmic main' sudo apt update sudo apt-add-repository 'deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ bionic main' sudo apt update sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-stable  but they didn't fix the problem. What can I do?

This is exact content from my sources.list:  #  # deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 2016.1 _Kali-rolling_ - Official Snapshot amd64 LIVE/INSTALL Binary 20160830-11:29]/ kali-rolling contrib main non-free #deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 2016.1 _Kali-rolling_ - Official Snapshot amd64 LIVE/INSTALL Binary 20160830-11:29]/ kali-rolling contrib main non-free   I couldn't install the Synaptic package manager and was told to modify sources.list.  I googled a lot and added some repos into it and ran update and upgrade command only to see Kali crash... I had to recover it.  Please mention the exact content that should be there to ensure that Kali Linux works.

I just formatted my laptop and got rid of Windows 7. Yay ;-)  Either way, Wine is version 1.3.28 here, and I need it to update (there are some bugfixes) for my game so I need a more recent version. This is the version I got from the Ubuntu software manager. How do I get a more recent version or Wine version 1.4?  I've already added the repo into my repository, but still no updates.  Thanks in advance.
