Lastly, I searched Synaptic Package Manager for the wine-staging-i386 package and it was not listed.

Thanks for your help in resolving this issue.

I have a feeling it's not working because the Dependency in wine-staging is for wine-staging-i386 - but that's an i386 architecture package and it's looking for an amd64 arch package.
Try running

Code: Select all

sudo apt install wine-staging-i386:i386 wine-staging

I have a feeling it's not working because the Dependency in wine-staging is for wine-staging-i386 - but that's an i386 architecture package and it's looking for an amd64 arch package.

IIRC that package is what allows Wine to run 32-bit Windows programs on Wine with a 64-bit host. I've encountered a few freeware/shareware Windows programs that used a 32-bit installer instead of a paid 64-bit one.

A caveat - most of my Wine knowledge is 7+ years old, so finding out the above isn't the case anymore will not upset me.

No luck running that code.

Code: Select all

$ sudo apt install wine-staging-i386:i386 wine-staging

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have

distribution that some required packages have not yet been created

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 wine-staging-i386:i386 : Depends: libgphoto2-6:i386 (>= 2.5.10) but it is not going to be installed
                          Depends: libasound2-plugins:i386 but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Checked Synaptic and it shows libgphoto2-6 (ver 2.55.22-3) and libasound2-plugins (ver 1.1.8-1) (both without the ":i386") are installed.
