So, I'm in a bit of a predicament it seems. I was updating/reinstalling winebottler, with sudo apt-get install wine-staging, and then I got this error message. 

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 wine-staging : Depends: wine-staging-i386 (= 1.9.22~ubuntu16.10.1)
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I then try to solve this by typing every single common terminal command that I found, such as sudo apt-get install -f, and commands of the sort. install -f just came up with no errors; and so I went into synaptic to try and install wine. I tried installing wine-staging, and as expected, I get an error about broken packages. I go into the menu, and click edit->fix broken packages. I then get this error:

E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.
E: Unable to correct dependencies
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.
E: Unable to correct dependencies

Here I am now, trying to find a way to fix this, after it has become an issue in many areas. I am also having problems with valve's shitty steam build, and was told to install steam from sudo apt-get install steam. I cannot due so, as an error along the same lines as the wine error. I would love any help.

Requested Outputs:

  1. sudo apt-get -o Debug::pkgProblemResolver=yes install wine
  2. apt-cache policy libgl1-mesa-glx:amd64 libwayland-egl1-mesa:amd64 mpv:amd64 smplayer:amd64 smplayer-themes:amd64 libsdl2-2.0-0:amd64 smplayer-l10n:amd64 libwayland-egl1-mesa:i386 libgtk-3-0:i386 libglu1-mesa:i386 libgtk-3-0:amd64 libgl1-mesa-glx:amd64 wine-staging-i386:i386 wine-staging:amd64 libgl1-mesa-glx:amd64 libglapi-mesa:amd64 libgles2-mesa:amd64 libosmesa6:amd64 libosmesa6:i386 wine-staging:amd64

EDIT: After the lovely help from user.dz below, I fixed this by opening software-properties-gtk , disabling ppa.launchpad.net/oibaf/gallium-nine/ubuntu PPA , and then running sudo apt update and then sudo apt install wine-staging.

Usually, I flag similar question as duplicate of How do I resolve unmet dependencies after adding a PPA? . But that a quiet long post, that may may give you the exact answer or explain what you are facing.

  1. We checked the conflict using sudo apt-get -o Debug::pkgProblemResolver=yes install wine

    Most of those packages are from same source archive mesa which is a part of the graphics stack. They should have same version in the system. Currently 12.0.3-1ubuntu2 for yakkety.

    As you can see a higher version 13.1+gallium-nine~git1611030800.078245~gd~y take priority for some of them, and that created the issue in the first place.

  2. We looked into

    apt-cache policy libgl1-mesa-glx:amd64 libwayland-egl1-mesa:amd64 mpv:amd64 smplayer:amd64 smplayer-themes:amd64 libsdl2-2.0-0:amd64 smplayer-l10n:amd64 libwayland-egl1-mesa:i386 libgtk-3-0:i386 libglu1-mesa:i386 libgtk-3-0:amd64 libgl1-mesa-glx:amd64 wine-staging-i386:i386 wine-staging:amd64 libgl1-mesa-glx:amd64 libglapi-mesa:amd64 libgles2-mesa:amd64 libosmesa6:amd64 libosmesa6:i386 wine-staging:amd6

    To check:

    • from where they come, to disable that repository.
    • if that some package installed with that version, to downgrade them or purge ppa completely as last solution.
    • version of both arch amd64 `i386 of same package, because most packages have a rule to break if not same version is installed for both.

So non was installed with 13.1+gallium-nine~git1611030800.078245~gd~y for the interesting packages, we just disable PPA.

  1. Open software-properties-gtk
  2. Disable ppa.launchpad.net/oibaf/gallium-nine/ubuntu PPA
  3. Update packages list sudo apt update
  4. Install wine sudo apt install wine-staging
