           Product: Wine
           Version: 6.8
          Hardware: x86-64

Trying to install wine with "wine-installer" fails with the following error:

----------------------------------------------------------
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 wine-installer : Depends: wine
                  Recommends: wine64 but it is not going to be installed
                  Recommends: wine32

Installing using the method on your website fails with:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 winehq-stable : Depends: wine-stable (= 6.0.0~focal-1)
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

We discussed about this bug on a Linux mint forum, here is a short statement:

"...and I found some bug (?) in apt relating to the packages wine-installer and
wine, which might be related to your message: "wine-installer depends on wine
but wine isn't going to be installed" (why not??), and the fact that I can
install wine-installer without installing wine, even though the package
software tells me that wine is required for wine-installer."
