    ~$ sudo apt-get install wine
    [sudo] password for ivan:
    Reading package lists... Done
    Building dependency tree
    Reading state information... 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
    or been moved out of Incoming.
    The following information may help to resolve the situation:

    The following packages have unmet dependencies:
    wine: Depends: wine1.2 but it is not going to be installed
    E: Broken packages

    What is the output of:


    Code:
    apt-cache search wine1.2

    Okay wine1.2 is in your repository so I wonder why it's not installing it? How about:

    Code:
    sudo apt-get install wine1.2
