Try the below commands on terminal to reinstall the above mentioned packages,

sudo apt-get install --reinstall python-wxgtk2.8
sudo apt-get install --reinstall playonlinux

Because the error report clearly says,

Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should
 reinstall it before attempting configuration
