apt list -u
show? It seems you have packages need upgrading... Is that just Firefox wanting its language packs?
In terminal, please run

Thank you for your help. I would try the same and update you about the results
It returned unmet dependency
Wine32:i386 depends libc6:i386(>=2.17) and libwine:i386(=3.0-1lubuntu)
Recommends : wine-stable:i386
Can you please try:
sudo apt-get install lib32z1
Then
sudo apt --fix-broken install
Like pulling teeth. Usually installation of Wine goes quite smoothly... You are getting Good Terminal Training on this one.

Thats true, I haven't spent this much time and its fun and thank you for guiding me.
So while installing lib32z1 it returned depends on libc6-i386(>=2.4) and told i have broken packages
Fix broken install returned nothing like this. No mention of broken package
I also tried to run sudo apt-get install libc6-i386 which returned depends on libc6(=2.28-0ubuntuul+zorin4) but 2.28-10 is to be installed
Yes and Be Careful. IF you force the package, it will remove libc6 (64bit) and break the system.
I think we need to back out of this and try again.
I scrolled up to doublecheck the steps... everything looks right. It is acting as though you did not add the 32bit arch libraries. I do not understand...

Actually that happened. To install citra emulator, libc6 2.31 has to be downloaded which broke the apt command, and I have to correct this from live media and a lot of things were deleted 
Are you running Zorin 15.3 or Zorin OS 16?
15.3 education version
Not something we want to just up and wipe and reload, then.
Have you fixed apt or still in the middle of that?
1 Like
Yeah apt was fixed and functioning perfectly

So current standing is- Zorin OS 15.3 Education functional - midway through installing Wine which is throwing crazy dependency errors... Correct?
1 Like
Yes absolutely. All other tasks are functional, except the wine and sometimes libc6, like while installing qt5 or stuff like that for playing video games, it shows higher libc6 is required, but the default for zorin is 2.28(hope I am correct) so those can't be installed as many things depends on version 2.28.

In this case, I would like to back up a bit and start over- partly due to Artyom Zorins post here:
I think opening Software & Updates app and removing any WineHQ repositories first... Then removing ~/.wine directory manually...
Then run
sudo apt remove --purge wine*
Get rid of anything that may be bungling up the pipes.
Then test if the package zorin-windows-app-support will now get you sorted out. This is not a pedestal action; I have learned in my time using Zorin OS that if an existing method or app exists, often ZorinGroup finds a way to do it thoroughly and better. So, fingers crossed...:
sudo apt install -y zorin-windows-app-support
