When I put in this command

Code:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install wine1.3

I get this from my terminal

Code:
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:
 wine1.3 : Depends: wine1.4 but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
root@ubuntu:/home/steven#

It did a whole bunch of stuff up above this but I don't think it matters for this problem.
 
By prediction, try:
$ sudo apt-get install wine1.4
Also, I see you have created some threads about it before... why are you using ppa???
 
When I try to install wine 1.4 it gives me this

Code:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 wine1.4 : Depends: wine1.4-i386 (= 1.4.1-0ubuntu1) but it is not installable
           Recommends: gnome-exe-thumbnailer but it is not going to be installed or
                       kde-runtime but it is not going to be installed
           Recommends: ttf-droid
           Recommends: ttf-mscorefonts-installer but it is not going to be installed
           Recommends: ttf-umefont but it is not going to be installed
           Recommends: ttf-unfonts-core but it is not going to be installed
           Recommends: winbind but it is not going to be installed
           Recommends: winetricks but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

To be honest, I just installed Linux Ubuntu and went from there, I have no knowledge of Linux or even what ppa is, thats why I'm having so many issues.

When I try to install wine 1.4 it says I need these

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

How do I get these, what do I do?
