14.04 - Wine installation problem Ubuntu14.04 64bit

I am having trouble installing wine in Ubuntu 14.04, 64-bit. Here is what i have tried.



1) Terminal



sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa -y
sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install wine


as given here



This is giving the following error.



$ sudo apt-get install wine
[sudo] password for sanchit:
Reading package lists... Done

Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done



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:
wine : Depends: wine1.6 but it is not going to be installed or
wine1.7 but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.


These questions have been asked a lot of times.





  1. This one
    suggests sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386. But it was not useful.

  2. This
    lists generic solutions. Did



     sudo apt-get clean
    sudo apt-get -f install

    sudo dpkg --configure -a
    sudo apt-get -u dist-upgrade

  3. This one says sudo apt-get install wine1.7. Tried did this too, but it isn't working.



    $ sudo apt-get update 
    $ sudo apt-get install wine1.7
