I have aarch64 (amd64) architecture and I am wanting to install wine. Is it possible to install it from repository? I have imported key of repository and added i386 architecture already. After it I writed in command line
sudo apt-add-repository 'deb [arch=amd64] xenial main'All successful!
Then I updated all packages with sudo apt update and tried to install wine but I got error.

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
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
winehq-stable:i386 : Depends: wine-stable:i386 (= 4.0.1~xenial) but it
is not going to be installed

aarch64 is not x86_64 / amd64. aarch64 is for ARM v8, ie: Raspberry Pi 3 B+.
Wine recommends, or requires, the installment and availability of both amd64 and i386 libraries. This means you'll have to follow instructions on installing Wine, which includes enabling multilib/multiarch. After reading about this, and the consequences, you could add i386 to your amd64 system with the following command:
$ sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
$ sudo apt updateEven after adding the WineHQ repository, the packages there may need i386 packages from Ubuntu and other sources. This is why you must perform this step even after adding WineHQ repository, explaining why it is the first step in the WineHQ Ubuntu Documentation.
After taking another look, I do not see the command you showed us anywhere in this document. Did you try following some other instructions after these didn't work? Why are you running your version of the apt-add-repository command, vs the one listed by WineHQ?
For anybody wanting to run Wine on aarch64, it is possible, but likely not worth the trouble. The instructions will most certainly not be the same as an amd64 system, and you'll mess up an aarch64 system by adding amd64 or i386 packages. You may consider running Windows 10 directly and look into Microsoft IoT Core.
