How to resolve conflicts when installing wine 4 on Ubuntu 16.04?

Question

Wine

Data:
Ubuntu 16.04 64 bit system.
I wanted to install native half-life2 on Linux, some conflicts were created during the installation of dependencies, after that wine stopped working. The conflict is caused by the libpng12-0_1.2.54-1ubuntu1.1_i386 library.
I demolished the old wine, cleaned the i386 architecture packages, installed a new one according to the instructions here https://tecadmin.net/install-wine-on-ubuntu/

Installation history

wget -nc https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/Release.key
sudo apt-key add Release.key
sudo apt-get install --install-recommends winehq-devel
sudo apt-get install --install-recommends winehq-stable
sudo apt-get install wine-stable
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
wget -qO - https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-add-repository 'deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ xenial main'
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install --install-recommends winehq-stable

After several attempts to install the result is the same:

Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/libpng12-0_1.2.54-1ubuntu1.1_i386.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Synaptic shows broken packages, if I demolish them, wine is demolished and the problem disappears.

I'm afraid to delete the existing libpng12-0 - it pulls half the system in dependencies. It conflicts with the same version for i386, as I understand it.


The command sudo apt install -f gives the same error:

force install

How to competently resolve this conflict and how can you check the steps for resolving the conflict so as not to mess up even more firewood?

Answer 1

install -f swears that /usr/share/doc/libpng12-0/changelog.Debian.gz (this is a changelog and it’s not needed) is from another package, you can rename it, but I don’t know what it will break further
