CodePudding user response：

You have mixed Feren Os based on Ubuntu Focal with Ubuntu Hirsute leading to the unmet dependencies error.

To fix this problem, you need to remove hirsute from /etc/apt/sources.list and the files under /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ dir.

To install winehq see the documentation and use the focal codename.

If you have an issue with vkd3d, it can be installed from Cybermax PPA..
