Somehow I also wonder if there isn't somehow a mismatch with something 64-bit versus something 32-bit. So, you are running 64-bit Ubuntu, correct? Have you tried manually installing something that perhaps you used the 32-bit name instead of the 64-bit name?
I just "fixed broken packages" in synaptic. Not sure if it did anything. I also tried:
Code:
sudo apt-get -f install

I've tried both the 32 bit and 64 bit versions of both of these, but it seems that the 64 bit has a dependency for the 32 bit version. Results for wine:
Code:
