When I try to install Wine in Ubuntu 15.04, I get the following message:
>sudo apt-get install wine
Reading package lists... Done

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

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
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
I have looked for solutions and done the usual sudo apt-get -f install, sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade without success. What should I do?
The output of sudo apt-get -f install is as follows:

EDIT: Following a suggestion by @Serphiroth, I ran the following:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install wine1.7
This resulted in the following message:
