I am using following article to fix this issue: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2246183

This is the output I get:

aditya@aditya-Vostro-3446:~/$ sudo apt-get purge wine
[sudo] password for aditya:

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
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

And when I try to install wine using ubuntu software center I get following message:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

q4wine: Depends: libc6 (>= 2.14) but 2.15-0ubuntu10.9 is to be installed
        Depends: libgcc1 (>= 1:4.1.1) but 1:4.6.3-1ubuntu5 is to be installed

You can try one of the following:

sudo apt-get -f install

To force install the dependencies and such.

Or try installing it via the Ubuntu Wine Team PPA:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install wine1.7

Try to install directly the last version:

sudo apt-get install wine1.7

or (previous version):

sudo apt-get install wine1.6

you need to reinstall package ttf-mscorefonts-installer because by default the license for this package is not accepted, you need to manually accept the license for this package."Microsoft's core fonts package has unmet dependencies in wine.

"first remove them from your system as

sudo apt-get remove ttf-mscorefonts-installer

then re-install

sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer

then accept the license using tab key in a graphical interface after doing this install any version of wine,you can install wine from software centre .This package is also required if you want to install adobe flash player plugin.Note: wine1.6.2 is the stable release and Wine 1.7.34 is the latest wine release as of now.You can refer to
