I opened synaptic and had it fix broken packages, then I enabled all the repos but source & testing and that seems to have cleared the dependency issues. Winehq-stable is installed now!

I did that and while it installed smoothly, I have gotten it to work with more of my programs in the past using the winehq versions.

I updated the orginal post w quotes.

That was not what he asked.. code tags.

Like so: [code]code output here[/code]

Or you can select the code and tick the </> button (it's next to the quote)

Make sure to remove the quote tags.
