These commands worked for me on a clean 17.10 install.

Based on your error, did you perhaps forget to do the sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386?

1. sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
2. wget && sudo apt-key add Release.key
3. sudo apt update && sudo apt install winehq-stable

See this article for details.

I had to install the following dependencies for Wine to work on Ubuntu 17.10:

sudo apt install libgd3:i386
sudo apt install libgphoto2-6:i386
sudo apt install wine-stable
sudo apt install winehq-stable

Because my computer is 64-bit it didn't have the 32 bit/ i386 packages installed.

Try these commands:

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt-add-repository '
wget && sudo apt-key add Release.key
sudo apt update && sudo apt install winehq-stable
