I expect that the same result would follow, because wine will pull in wine32, but exact package names can be important and I think this may be the second time in this process that you've tried installing a different one from what was suggested. > Reading package lists...

What (if anything) do you get from the following commands? $ apt-mark showhold $ grep wine /etc/apt/preferences /etc/apt/preferences.d/* What does the following command report? $ apt-cache policy wine wine32 wine64 libwine >> The wine-development package available in stable has version 4.2-4, and >> the one in testing has version 5.4-1, at least as of a few days ago or >> so.
