I've tried over and over, and over nothing seems to work. I always get this when I try to install Wine:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

wine1.4: PreDepends: dpkg (>= 1.15.7.2~) but 1.16.1.2ubuntu7.1 is to be installed
         Depends: libc6 (>= 2.14) but 2.15-0ubuntu10.4 is to be installed
         Depends: libgettextpo0 but it is not going to be installed
         Depends: wine1.4-amd64 (= 1.4.1-0ubuntu1~precise1~ppa4) but 1.4.1-0ubuntu1~precise1~ppa4 is to be installed
         Depends: wine1.4-i386 (= 1.4.1-0ubuntu1~precise1~ppa4) but it is a virtual package

still nothing.

  • It looks to me like you've got a PPA in your /etc/apt/sources.list file that won't let you install Wine from the Ubuntu Software Center. I'm not sure which PPA it is; I think it may be ppa:scottritchie/build-tests. I hope somebody can help you get this sorted out. Meanwhile take a look at this answer.

I suggest to use this instructions and downloading wine from the dedicated PPA.

  • @bclark pay attention to what version you are installing, try the 1.5 sudo apt-get install wine1.5 -y May 25, 2013 at 9:35
