It's not possible to install anything on my Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. When I run

sudo apt-get upgrade

I get:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 wine32:i386 : Depends: libwine:i386 (= 3.0-1ubuntu1) but it is not installed
 wine64 : Depends: libwine (= 3.0-1ubuntu1) but it is not installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

When I run 

sudo  apt --fix-broken install

I get the error-messages after a while:

The following additional packages will be installed:

So something about wine....

Do you have any suggestions?

This seems similar problem as this one. It refers to another package, but the output error is the same trying to overwrite file, which is also in…

The solution here is to (force) remove the package that causes the error, directly with dpkg . The problematic package is mentioned after the which is also in <package to be removed>

In your case wine1.8-amd64 , wine1.8-i386 and wine1.8

The following commands should do the trick:

sudo dpkg -P wine1.8
sudo dpkg -P wine1.8-amd64
sudo dpkg -P wine1.8-i386

Then run again 

sudo apt-get install -f

and dpkg should now be able to configure the packages correctly.

If for some reason above commands won't work, then use the --force-all option. Dangerous option as it can break things, but it is there for a reason. 

sudo dpkg -P --force-all wine1.8
sudo dpkg -P --force-all wine1.8-amd64
sudo dpkg -P --force-all wine1.8-i386

Also, if you still have any PPA about wine enabled, please disable it or completely remove it.
