Go to ubuntu software center >> Edit >> Software Sources >> Download From >> Select United States After that restart your computer go to software center and type your softare name and install it.

OR ELSE

Try this 

sudo apt-get autoclean

sudo dpkg --configure -a

sudo apt-get install -f

sudo apt-get -u dist-upgrade

sudo apt-get install wine -y

replace wine with your software name.

  • I had a slightly different issue with a pending security update for an EOL version of Ubuntu (namely, 14.04) and running the first three commands fixed it. Thanks! :)

You can try installing Synaptic. Download it offline i..e .deb file and install. During install, it will ask you for some library files. Download those also manually. Copy all .deb files in one folder and then run the command: sudo dpkg -i *.deb

Once done, start synaptic by typing sudo synaptic in terminal. If you install software through this, then very less chance that such errors will come. Also it will help you resolve the existing errors.

Synaptic is suggested for beginners than using command lines in terminals.
