I was trying to install Heroes of Might and Magic 3 with Play on Linux. When I start the program it gives me an error message
PlayOnLinux cannot find wine (from Wine). You should install it to use PlayOnLinux.
sudo apt-get install wine
I tried this but I got an error message:
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
What should I do?
Input:
sudo apt-get install wine
Output:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package wine is a virtual package provided by:
winehq-staging 4.0~rc1~cosmic
winehq-stable 3.0.4~cosmic
winehq-devel 4.0~rc1~cosmic
wine-development 3.6-1
You should explicitly select one to install.
E: Package 'wine' has no installation candidate
And when I type:
sudo apt-get install winehq-stable
I get this:
Reading package lists... Done
