Unable to install wine32
by Sploink from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4Y6MP)
I think I put my system into a bad state while trying to install the latest wine. I followed the directions here: https://wiki.winehq.org/Ubuntu
However I made the mistake of upgrading before uninstalling the version of wine from the standard repo. Or at least I'm guessing that's what got me into trouble. Now I can't install either version. I removed the winehq repo and tried to install the old version but it failed. Well, I can install 64-bit wine, but when I try to install wine32 it fails.

It looks like this is describing exactly my situation. So I've gotten this far, but where it says "The solution is to either change the installed version of the library back to the one from the standard repository so you can install both the 32 and 64 bit packages, or find an i386 package whose version exactly matches the one already installed."
This is where I'm stuck. How do I do this?
