I have 64 bit ubuntu 12.04 on my system. with nvidia graphic card. i installed some packages off line by using dpkg and also some programs from source code. now i have problem installing wine on my system. i have tried these commands:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install wine1.7
but it gives me this:
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
wine1.7 : Depends: wine1.7-i386 (= 1:1.7.12-0ubuntu1)

i have also tried aptitude:
sudo aptitude install wine1.7
one of the solution it suggests is this :

as it shows aptitude is going to delete many unrelated packages and not installing wine.
i don't know how resolve this dependecy problem. i could install wine on newly installed ubuntu but in my case i don't know what packages are causing this problem. i also tried other version of wine such as wine wine1.6
wine1.4
wine1.3
. i also tried installing wine from source code but it only can run non gui applications.
