Wine - Unmet dependencies

the other day I ran into an error while trying to install wine. I believe this is because I've tried to install too many versions of wine.
sudo apt-get install --install-recommends winehq-stable 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.
No matter what branch of wine I try to install I get these errors. I followed the tutorial through winehq for the installation but it hasn't helped much.

How were you trying to install Wine? Using the Wine repositories, or using a PPA?

Hi J. It looks like you're using Ubuntu 16.10? Can you edit your question to include the output of the commandssudo dpkg --configure -aanddpkg -l | grep wine? Also you may want to trysudo apt-get -f installbut I'm pretty sure that won't work because it looks like there's a problem with dependencies. My guess is you need to enable multiarch support to download dependencies from 32-bit architecture repos (since wine needs to be able to emulate both 32 and 64 bit windows installations)

I used the repositories and PPA, because one didnt work then I tried the other. And I believe I already did that while attempting to install wine via terminal."sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 " is the command I would have used to emulate both 64 and 32 bit. I still got the error regardless.
