I've run into a problem with Wine/winetricks, where I get the following error:

Wine cannot find the ncurses library (libncurses.so.6).

However, running sudo apt install libncurses6 just gives me a notification that the package is already installed

Running 18.10

Wine may need 32-bit library.

You can install it with

sudo apt-get install libncurses5:i386 libncurses6:i386

and then retry.

    In my case the error was Wine cannot find the ncurses library (libncurses.so.5). and the solution was sudo apt-get install libncurses5:i386
