I had the exact same issue on three different systems, all running Ubuntu 22.04.03, and none of the suggestions here helped. What I did find to work however, is aptitude.

sudo apt install aptitude

sudo aptitude install winehq-stable

Select no to first suggestion to "do nothing", accept 2nd suggestions.

$ sudo aptitude install winehq-stable
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  winehq-stable{b}
0 packages upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 winehq-stable : Depends: wine-stable (= 9.0.0.0~jammy-1) but it is not installable
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:

 Keep the following packages at their current version:



    

  1. winehq-stable [Not Installed]

This is caused by an incompatible previous installation of wine. Reinstall your desired version:

  1. apt-mark showhold. If this returns any output, do sudo apt-mark unhold <name>
  2. Disable every PPA except the winehq-jammy.sources one by moving their files away from /etc/apt/sources.list.d
  3. sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386, in case you forgot to do so while following WineHQ's instructions
  4. sudo apt update
  5. sudo apt-get purge 'wine*' 'wine*:i386' This line will do the trick. Make sure to read everything below the "The following packages will be REMOVED" line and cancel if it wants to remove something you want.
  6. sudo apt autopurge. If it wants to remove something you want, cancel, and do sudo apt install <name>, then try again
  7. sudo apt upgrade
  8. sudo apt full-upgrade
  9. sudo apt install wine-stable:i386
  10. sudo apt install wine-stable
  11. sudo apt install winehq-stable
  12. sudo apt install winehq-stable --install-recommends

Also ensure that you did not pin any repositories in /etc/apt/preferences.d

Alternatively, try:

  1. sudo apt install --install-recommends wine-stable-i386:i386
  2. sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-stable

Alternative 01:

The output of sudo dpkg -l | grep '^.[^i]' shows you can remove the following packages as done with dpkg --remove ... (these were listed rc). (There is a description at: How to interpret the status of dpkg (–list))

sudo dpkg --remove --force-all fuse ntfs-3g steam-launcher virtualbox xdg-desktop-portal linux-image-6.2.0-26-generic linux-modules-6.2.0-26-generic linux-modules-extra-6.2.0-26-generic linux-modules-nvidia-535-6.2.0-26-generic linux-modules-nvidia-535-6.2.0-39-generic linux-objects-nvidia-535-6.2.0-26-generic linux-objects-nvidia-535-6.2.0-39-generic
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get --fix-broken install

Now verify that you have the following packages:

apt-cache policy fuse ntfs-3g steam-launcher virtualbox xdg-desktop-portal

If, you don't have them, you can install with:

sudo apt install fuse ntfs-3g steam-launcher virtualbox xdg-desktop-portal

Now you should also be able to install any other programs. e.g. wine with:

sudo apt install wine

Alternative 02:

Install synaptic package manager with:

sudo apt install synaptic

Launch Synaptic Package Manager and go to Custom Filters -> Broken, a list of broken packages will be listed. You need to select them in the checkbox and mark them for removal. And apply the changes. The GUI application will handle the broken packages for you.
