Question

Good day to all!

I ran into a problem that when updating wine from version 4* to 5.0, there was a problem with " wine-staging ".

After I uninstalled wine via the console, but now I can't even install from the wine program manager because it says " Unavailable "

When I try to install wine again, at a certain stage of the installation, the following happens:

$ sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-staging

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading status information... Done

not feasible, or you are using an unstable version of the distribution where

I have very little experience with linux, since I just recently started to master it after the "vent"
I will be very grateful for enlightenment, and help in solving this problem
