Hi All,

Trying to upgrade my Ubuntu laptop from 18.04 > 20.04

First is gave me the option in software updater > select upgrade > No change

I then tried through terminal but I get: Please install all available updates for your release before upgrading.

So I ran sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade , but got the following error

The following packages have been kept back:
wine-stable
0 to upgrade, 0 to newly install, 0 to remove and 1 not to upgrade.

Any information / workaround around would be appreciated

Please note that I am following this article: https://ubuntu.com/blog/how-to-upgrade-from-ubuntu-18-04-lts-to-20-04-lts-today

If a package is "Held Back" you can often clear it by simply installing it again.


sudo apt install wine-stable

You may need to add --reinstall option

Try removing the Wine PPA.

The main problem is the third-party software sources (for release upgrades), not so much what was installed from them.
Again, check Software & Updates > Other software. Remove the PPA there.

If you want you may uninstall it as well with the usual command

sudo apt remove wine-stable
