After :

sudo apt install wine

The following packages will be removed :
fuse2fs libgl1-amber-dri mesa-vulkan-drivers ubuntu-desktop ubuntu-desktop-minimal uuid-runtime xorg

I did not confirm it to install wine

From my side of view something must be wrong.

Package Ubuntu-desktop must be removed to install wine ????

Abort.

The same if I use synaptic.
 
You obviously dont trust the apt process

If you have Timeshift snapshots, you can easily restore to a time before continuing to run the above process/command.

Did you enter Y to make the changes. [you cannot auto remove unless you have]

Just installing those same packages on my Ubuntu test vm and then I will try to install wine to see what happens on my test vm.
 
I always use...
Code: 
sudo apt install wine

Never had any problems.

Just to check. Can you open a terminal and share the output of the following commands?
Code: 
ls -l /etc/apt/sources.list.d
grep wine /etc/apt/sources.list

My guess is that an alternative repo/ppa is being used causing this because on my Ubuntu 22.04 test vm the problem OP is having isn't happening. See post #8 to check your sources for different wine sources?

I think he just hasn't accepted the changes for them to install prior to running autoremove

I don't think so because of this.

It clearly states that it's going to remove those packages. Something similar happened to Linus Tech Tips when running PopOS and there was a bug in the Steam package that when installing Steam it removed his entire desktop environment. Could be a bug in the wine package from whatever other source it is being installed, but only speculating now.

Please refer to synaptic package description of ubuntu-desktop :
"This package depends on all Ubuntu desktop system packages.
It is also used to ensure a successful system update
and should therefore not be removed."
 
The "REMOVAL" does not appear here on simulated installations on debian or ubuntu.
It's possible to try and install a particular version of wine with apt-get using the format:
apt-get install <pkg>=1.1.1

One can determine the version of wine from the output of:
Code: 
apt-cache show wine
and insert the version number in a command for example:
Code: 
apt-get install wine=8.0.1~repack-3

If there's a bug in one wine version, particularly in the dependency requirements in it's .deb file, which may be so in this case, it's best to choose another version, or await an update. One can check the repos for available versions.

How about the output of the following?
Code: 
grep wine /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*
 
From what I have read this is the dependency missing from some versions of Wine libgl1-amber-dri:amd64 , you can try running this before you try to update?

sudo dpkg -P --force-depends libgl1-amber-dri:amd64
 
An additional hint :
1. I did install wine successfully on the same system
2. I had a problem with one windows application (exe), did some changes, but only in my home user directory (.wine, ...)
3. After all no exe could be called by wine
4. Removed wine completely from my system (synaptic, remove package complete)
5 Try to install wine again, but now with the "ubuntu-desktop" issue, as described here.
 

[SOLVED] Any idea why "wine" wants to remove so many packages?

I'm a bit puzzled by this :confused: Does anyone have any idea why installing "wine" would want to remove so many other packages?? > sudo apt --simulate install wine Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done The following packages were...
ubuntuforums.org
That topic has some useful info. What happens when you run the following?
Code: 
sudo apt autoremove --simulate
apt-cache policy wine
apt --simulate install wine
sudo aptitude install wine
