I am trying to install Wine 5 stable release, but I keep getting broken packages error. I have been using the steps provided here and on the official Wine website. These were the other threads I have tried to use to solve the problem which didn't work (I have made sure I installed the one for 18.04):
If I were to install Winehq-stable I would be met with another package. Upon trying to install it, I would get more and more.
Here are the logs:
