Why is Wine not installable on my system?

I am having problem when installing wine on ubuntu 12.10

I tried to following some tutorial but none of them work.

 **root@ubuntu:~# add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa**

 **root@ubuntu:~# apt-get update**

 **root@ubuntu:~# apt-get install wine1.5**

Well, since you have broken packages I would suggest you to use the following command:

sudo apt-get update -f

To fix any broken packages.

and install wine again

sudo apt-get install wine

And you didn't have to add a repository, since wine is listed by default, a regular sudo apt-get install wine would have been enough.

[EDIT]: wow the whole question just changed -.-
