    Can't lock wine-staging-i386 version using muon

    TLDR: I can't lock the wine-staging-i386 package using MUON.

    The long explanation:
    I needed to install .NET Framework 4.5 on my Wine prefix but the installer hung. I found it was a known bug in wine-stable and was fixed in a later version. So I installed wine-staging using MUON. Everything installed normally, and I got .NET Framework installed.

    Problem solved, or so I thought...

    Next day, I discovered a new version of wine-staging was available. That's a Gig or so of unnecessary downloading - on a fairly regular basis - so I decided to lock Wine-Staging.
    All of the packages locked successfully, except wine-stable-i386 which just refuses to lock. Literally nothing happens when I select the option...

    So I thought I'd try from the command line:

    sudo apt-mark hold wine-staging-i386

    Even that didn't work. It still shows up as "upgradeable" in MUON.

    Any ideas?

    hmm.

    The file /etc/apt/preferences.d/wine-staging-i386 is present and looks correct...

    Code:
    Package: wine-staging-i386
    Pin: version 6.22~focal-1
    Pin-Priority: 1001

      You'd best check if any dependencies exist and if they do then lock them as well.
      Code:
      apt-cache showpkg wine

        I also wonder if installing wine-staging over wine-stable leaves some stray bits behind causing issues.
        Me, I'd recommend using PlayonLinux or Lutris, since they manage wine prefixes and using multiple version of Wine soooo much easier.

              What about winehq-staging-i386, as well as any other wine*-staging-* package? You probably want to keep all the wine packages the same version

              Description: WINE Is Not An Emulator - runs MS Windows programs
              Wine is a program which allows running Microsoft Windows programs
              (including DOS, Windows 3.x and Win32 executables) on Unix.
              .
              This compatibility package allows to use wine-staging system-wide as
              the default Wine version.
