    Wine and skype 64-bit issues.

    I'm fairly new to ubuntu. I'm on 12.10 64-bit (I think?), and I've been trying to install wine. I run
    Code:
    sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install wine
    and get the result:

    The following packages have unmet dependencies:
    wine : Depends: wine1.4 but it is not going to be installed
    E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

    I get a similar message trying to install skype.

    The following packages have unmet dependencies:
    skype : Depends: skype-bin but it is not installable
    E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

    I think this is a multiarch problem, but I don't yet know how to diagnose it.

    I tried that originally. I got and error like this:

    wine1.4: PreDepends: dpkg (>= 1.15.7.2~) but 1.16.7ubuntu6 is to be installed
    Depends: libc6 (>= 2.14) but 2.15-0ubuntu20 is to be installed
    Depends: wine1.4-amd64 (= 1.4.1-0ubuntu1) but 1.4.1-0ubuntu1 is to be installed
    Depends: wine1.4-i386 (= 1.4.1-0ubuntu1) but it is not going to be installed

    Try running this command:
    Code:
    sudo apt-get -f install
    And then run again:
    Code:
    sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install wine

    I tried this. Doesn't appear to change anything.

    Now I want to ask about the 2nd part of the title of this thread: are you installing wine to run Skype? If so, you don't need to. Just install the native Skype package from the software center or using synaptic package manager.

    I tried both of those.

    Code:
    Package dependencies cannot be resolved
    
    The following packages have unmet dependencies:
    
    skype: Depends: skype-bin but it is not going to be installed
    Synaptic gives me "Could not apply changes! Fix broken packages first."

    Also,

    athquiz@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get build-dep wine

    Re: Wine and skype 64-bit issues.

    In synaptic, did you try clicking on "edit" up on the top bar and then "fix broken packages" in the drop down? What does it say?

    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:

    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:
