The application I need to run requires the 32 bit version of wine, so if I can't get this installed, this will all become rather academic. But I can install wine. Really it just seems like the system doesn't like the i386 foreign arch, for some reason.
What (if anything) do you get from the following commands?
$ apt-mark showhold
Nothing.
$ grep wine /etc/apt/preferences /etc/apt/preferences.d/*
grep: /etc/apt/preferences: No such file or directory
grep: /etc/apt/preferences.d/*: No such file or directory
What does the following command report?
$ apt-cache policy wine wine32 wine64 libwine
That you don't need newer than what's in stable is good, because the
failure of any such packages to install is something we can probably
troubleshoot and get fixed. It might take a bit of working at, but this
sort of thing is resolved all of the time.
Let's hope.
