Did you update your sources first ?
sudo apt update
If so please post the output of
inxi -r

It’s recomended to install wine with package-installer,btw.

If you are running on a live USB with persistence, to save space on the persistence file, the list of packages available to install built with sudo apt update is excluded and will not be saved. This means that, every time you reboot, you would need to sudo apt update at least once if you want to update or install new programs. This behaviour can be “fixed if you wish, but it will save an extra 100-200MBs of info in your rootfs persistent file.

But that is only for a live USB or frugal session, and not for installed. Installed, after one time doing sudo apt update, the list of available packages survives a reboot.

If you provide the output of the command requested by caprea we can be sure that your repo list is 100% ok.

OMG! How did that happen? Did you edit the antix.list sources list manually? That is one crazy output!
This is mine:

  No active apt repos in: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/various.list

Some things that are wrong in your repo list:
1. The most important, and the reason you cannot download debian packages. You have buster main repo disabled! See mine:

  Active apt repos in: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.list 
  1: deb http://ulises.hostalia.com/debian/ buster main contrib non-free
  2: deb http://security.debian.org/ buster/updates main contrib non-free

I have the security repo (as you do), but I have the main debian repo (the first in the above list) active, but you don’t. Go to Repo Manager (Control Centre > Maintenance), Debian tab, and activate the buster repo.

2. I only activate deb-multimedia when I need it (first time recently, installing kodi). Then I disable it. It is recommended to have it disabled and only activate it when installing something from that specific repo.

3. If you are having trouble with a certain antix repo mirror, use Repo Manager to select a different one close to you. Adding them all to the same list is a bad idea. It will take a lot longer to update the package lists if it has to check each of the mirrors. (Anyway, this is not a real problem if this works for you).

5. You have added the incorrect wine repository.
56: deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/debian/ stretch main
You are running antiX 19 based on Debian BUSTER, but you added the STRETCH repo instead. If you want the main wine repo for you system, you need to change it to:
deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/debian/ buster main

5. As you manually added:

  53: deb https://deb.opera.com/opera-stable/ stable non-free
  54: deb http://repository.spotify.com/ stable non-free
  55: deb [arch=amd64] https://packagecloud.io/AtomEditor/atom/any/ any main
  56: deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/debian/ stretch main

I would move them to various.list just so you can have a bit more order. This way the antix.list has the antix repos and any other ones can go to a separate file. If at some point you upgrade to antiX 21, having them in a separate various.list or others.list (or whatever-name-you-like.list) file will save you from having to add them again.

Once you activate the main buster Debian repo again, try:
sudo apt update && apt policy wine
and you will be able to see a candidate version for wine. As caprea recommended above, it is better you install it with package installer, just in case it brings in a newer version than the one on the Debian repo.

Spam filter got me again 🙁

Until some of our patient moderators can restore it, the most important part is:

You are missing the Debian buster repo. Use Control Centre > Maintenance > Repo Manager, Go to the Debian repo tab, activate the repo (it should be the first in the debian.list) that should be similar to:
deb http://some.repo.com/debian/ buster main contrib non-free

My reaction was almost the same and i’m really still curious how this came about. How did you do?

I removed all the .lists from /etc/apt/sources.list.d and only left antix.list in this folder but now I can’t download netbeans(example) I don’t know if I commit a mistake. Sorry.

Yess I add manually in file antix.list

EDIT:
I updated the repo and works now! Thanks so much! Cheers!

If Debian sources are missing you will not be able to update a large percentage of the software.

Put Debian back. The main areas where antiX differs are in packages that depend on systemd. antiX nosystemd packages replace those, but most other software comes from Debian and other upstream projects. The nosystemd packages and artwork, plus tools come from antiX.

my antix.list file to you. it’s all works!

Are you somehow missing the point?

By having all those mirror servers active in in your sources list,
you are forcing your system to redundantly download identical datasets
~~ wasting bandwidth
~~ wasting drive storage space (consumed by the cumulative, multi megabyte, indexfiles)
~~ likely slow-as-molasses waiting for each update operation to retrieve / unpack / parse / index

What is wrong with the repos included in antiX?

At most, find mirror sites that work best, but don’t duplicate anything,

When in doubt, use the default or ask for specific things that interest you.

I suggest return to the default…

Yes I think is slowly when update I just add from repo antiX 19 manually.
arch linux use all repository from all Country.

example: I added the repository from newest wine(5.x) and I had already wine 4.0 on my PC when I try to install wine it ask to remove wine and add the new wine. That’s all!

angel7, are you pulling our chain?

For most users it is better to stay with the antiX default repos. And for troubleshooting you’ll be on your own to sort out all the cruft that comes from such a sources list. Yours is not the recommended approach. But it your system. Do what you want. But no thanks. I’ll stick with what I have.
