@9d9: i386 is enabled on your system, otherwise you'd get another message from the new wine packages.

Generally you always need to issue a "sudo apt update" afterwards (you don't mention that anywhere in your recent bugs). However your apt-cache command proves you did that and that the package is available already.

So try:
$ sudo apt install wine32=1:1.8.3-2ubuntu3 libwine:i386=1:1.8.3-2ubuntu3

If that still goes wrong please post the whole unshortened output of this command.

> Could you give some examples? 64 bit windows apps generally require the 32 bit subsystem as it's always available on Windows.

- Some developers who build and test their own app for Windows in Wine.
- Afaik most arm64 users only have the 64-bit parts installed.

But I obviously agree that normally you need wine32.
