Hi I'm trying to install wine and keep getting the error message wine: Depends: binfmt-support (>= 1.1.2) but it is not installable
E: Broken packages
Has anyone had this before? Any help would be great.:confused:

Which release are you running and can you post your /etc/apt/sources.list?
Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal
cat /etc/apt/sources.list

Is that the whole /etc/apt/sources.list or is that just only the last part/half?

Maybe you want to add a few more.
Edit /etc/apt/sources.list
gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
and add the following lines to the end of it.
deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu hardy partner
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy main universe restricted multiverse
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy-security universe main multiverse restricted
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy-updates universe main multiverse restricted
Save it and then run
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install wine
