Wine Staging install issue

Support

Hey everyone!

I am relatively new to Linux, and I’ve been trying to install Battlenet.

I get to this step

$ sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-staging

and it yields…

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:
libsdl2-dev : Depends: libsdl2-2.0-0 (= 2.0.8+1) but 2.0.8+dfsg1-1ubuntu1.18.04.1 is to be installed
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.

I tried…
$ sudo apt-get install libsdl2-2.0.8+dfsg1-1ubuntu1.18.04.1

but I get…

E: Unable to locate package libsdl2-2.0.08+dfsg1-1ubuntu1.18.04.1

So… is my DL outdated?

Thanks for the response! This is what I got.

You have outdated package on your system (43)
First try to upgrade them with
sudo apt update and sudo apt upgrade
After that, you can try sudo apt install libsdl2-2.0-0 instead of sudo apt-get install libsdl2-2.0.08+dfsg1-1ubuntu1.18.04.1
and see if sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-staging work now
