Can't install Wine Ubuntu 18.04
So I started following the instructions on: https://wiki.winehq.org/Ubuntu
So I did:
wget -nc https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/Release.key
sudo apt-key add Release.key
sudo apt-add-repository https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/
Then after doing an update, I tried to install using:
sudo apt-get install --install-recommends winehq-stable
But I got
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
winehq-stable : Depends: wine-stable (= 3.0.4~cosmic)
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
And I can't install wine-stable, as it tells me to install wine-stable-i386, which I also can't install because:

I don't know how to fix this, please help.
I have also tried doing sudo apt-get install -f
, but it returns

Edit: Also did sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
Edit2: wine-staging works
Do you need a version newer than what is in the baseline repos?
If not, remove the ppa you added, and just
sudo apt install wine-stable
wine-stable: Installed: 3.0-1ubuntu1 Candidate: 3.0-1ubuntu1 Version table: *** 3.0-1ubuntu1 500

tl;dr
Make sure you installed FAudio as noted in the official install guide.
