Ubuntu 18.10 Cannot install wine-staging
I had previously installed wine-stable, but for a particular program I wanted to run it was recommended that I run wine-staging. So I uninstalled wine-stable, and tried to install wine-staging as normal.
When I run
sudo apt install wine-staging
I get

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

The following information may help resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
wine-staging : Depends: wine-staging-amd64 (= 4.0~rc7~cosmic) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: wine-staging-i386 (= 4.0~rc7~cosmic)
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
So when I try to install the dependencies, I just keep on getting further down a rabbit hole of things I need but for some unexplained reason cannot install.
So for instance, when I tried to install wine-staging-amd64, I get

This is mainline Ubuntu, on an installation less than a week old. I haven't done any messing with my repos, and I've spent the past hour reading all kinds of solutions that seemed to work for everybody else, but do not work for me, such as sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386. I've tried installing the .deb directly from the winehq website, but Ubuntu Software install progress just goes from 0-100 in a second like it's installed, and then presents me with the install button again with no error indicating something went wrong. With gdebi, it tells me it's got a dependency that cannot be satisfied - which is itself. I'm not a new Linux user, and I've never run into such a ridiculous web of issues trying to install a simple package. Is there something going on within the WINE project right now, or am I somehow doing something wrong? This issue is seriously testing my patience.

@LeonidMew yessir. I followed step-by-step the installation guide found on winehq after installing the “normal” way didn’t work. It didn’t seem to change anything.

I ended up reinstalling Ubuntu and going through the steps on winehq once more. I’m no longer having the issue, and was able to install wine-staging with no problems. I wish I knew what I did to cause this error, or how to replicate it, but at least it’s fixed.
