I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 64bit and I want to install wine

nikola@carbon:~$ sudo apt-get install wine
[sudo] password for nikola: 
Sorry, try again.

E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
nikola@carbon:~$ 

I spend 4 hours and I have not made any progress. I don't get it. Ubuntu is a popular distro, wine is very common thing for people to want to run. Using 64bit system is what everyone should be doing (I don't even get why are there 32 bit version of ubuntu).

Here is how the dependencies looks like: wine -> wine1.4 wine1.4 -> wine1.4-amd64 wine1.4-amd64 -> wine1.4-common wine1.4-common -> wine1.4

I see a problem here.... :(

Please help me.
