Ok so I am trying to fix a broken package in order to install wine. When I do "sudo apt-get install wine" I get:
sam@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install wine
[sudo] password for sam:

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: wine1.4 but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
Then I try "sudo apt-get install wine1.4"
sam@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install wine1.4

The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
wine1.4 : Depends: wine1.4-i386 (= 1.4.1-0ubuntu1) but it is not installable
Recommends: gnome-exe-thumbnailer but it is not going to be installed or
kde-runtime but it is not going to be installed
Recommends: winetricks but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
So someone told me to try Synaptic. Here is what I tried:
Searched wine
Right clicked wine1.4
Said I needed to mark other packages
Mark
I click Apply. It says, You have to fix broken packages first!
I do EditFix Broken Packages I get this
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.
E: Unable to correct dependencies

E: Unable to correct dependencies
I am really frustrated. I removed the Official Wine PPA and tried it I even tried
$ sudo apt-get -f install
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Please help me :(
System: Ubuntu 12.10 64bit
