It worked until most everything Wine was disabled when 24.04.2 was released for distribution.
Now, nothing Wine works.
How do I fix this or do the maintainers need to fix this?

The first row of text labeled ādesiredā starts above the first column. Underneath the first character of that first line are a series of pipes. That is meant to be a line pointing at the first character. That is the āiā so what do you think that means?
The second row of text labeled āstatusā starts above the third column. Just below it and to the left is a slash. Below it, a pipe. That is meant to be a crooked line pointing at the second column. So thatās the āUā so what do you think that means?

Sorry, I led you astray. It doesnāt mean that precisely.
Letās read again:
So the i means the desire or plan is to install it. It doesnāt mean it is installed, per se. It just means it hasnāt been selected to be removed, purged or held. Itās been selected to be installed. If something is completely installed, this i remains.
Status should be self explanatory. So the U means it is unpacked. This means itās not any of the other things, including itās not installed or configured.
Since the status/second column is U and not i (or rather anything other than i), itās not installed. If itās not, you canāt remove it. Admittedly, being unpacked, you definitely have some local files associated with it. But you canāt get rid of them with apt remove.
Good questions for the WINE folks. We can help you figure out how to use the package management tools. With regards to specific questions about bleeding edge upstream software, you canāt really expect us to know. However, you can be certain the upstreams will know.
Chances are you donāt want the staging branch, though, looking at the wiki:
This branch includes several hundred experimental patches
that are not yet ready for inclusion in the main branch
If thatās really what you want, you should expect it to break.
I got it working, however it poses another question about upgradeās.
Do I ask it here or do I need a different new topic?
The most recent wine version is 10.2 which caused the issue.
I rolled back wine to version 10.1
Now it is working, at least until it upgradeās to version 10.2
