After alot of dependency problems decided to remove all wine related packages from synaptic.

Recently upgraded from 12.04 to 14.04.

Do not understand what is happening. Get depends wine1.6-i386, when I try to install that get cmslib2-2 dependencies

$ sudo apt-get install wine winetricks

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 wine : Depends: wine1.6 but it is not going to be installed or
                 wine1.7 but it is not going to be installed

First try setting the architecture:

dpkg --add-architecture

Then purge and add the ppa again.

sudo apt-get install ppa-purge && sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa && sudo apt-get update

And now try installing the dependency

sudo apt-get install wine1.7

For more information, please visit Configuring Architecture.

Hope it helps.
