Hi poncho2,

i thing it's all good now.

sudo apt-get install wine1.6

tolds you to try apt-get -f install so solve the dependencies. You have done that right!
Because of the installed packages linux-headers-3.5.0-32 linux-image-extra-3.5.0-37-generic
the output shows:

Thats normal in case of update.

Now you can do the sudo apt-get autoremove to remove all packages not needed.

[poncho2]

hmm, so i can install it now?

Yo, it should be installed.

With the

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa

you added the wine repository from which ubuntu downloads the application.
Normally in the next step you ask about updates to get the newest version.
Its the

sudo apt-get update.

After that you install the application with

sudo apt-get install wine1.6.

But you got dependencies and solved that with

sudo apt-get -f install.

Try now sudo apt-get install wine1.6

again. It should be installed.
Start ist from the Menu or enter wine in the terminal to start the emulator.

[poncho2]

Well i'll be... it worked!
Thanks heaps GwL3eNC

Nice clear explination too. I think i might have been doing some things in the wrong order at least one point.

Wine is excellent!

[Anders J]

I am mpst eager to try wine 1.6, but it seems difficult to install, tried everything listed above

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa

only results in

$: command not found
