Need help installing wine on Ubuntu xfce

[dachihuahuabot]

I am new to Ubuntu and I am trying to install Wine so that I can play windows games. I am running Ubuntu via Crouton on a chrmebook with a arm proccessor. Whenever I enter the command "sudo apt-get install --install-recommends winehq-stable" I receive the error message saying that either the package cannot be found or that I have "held broken packages". The console log for the latter is here:

Reading package lists... 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

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
winehq-stable:i386 : Depends: wine-stable:i386 (= 2.0.2~xenial) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Please help me with this problem.

I am not familiar enough with neither Wine nor ARM to advise you here; actually I don't use any of them. The reason why I asked for the output was so other posters might be able to see something.

The only thing I can suggest is to change mirror to see if any of the errors disappear.
