When I try to install Wine, PlayonLinux, and some other programs, I get the following message:
At the terminal:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
wine : Depends: wine1.5 but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
At the software center:
Package dependencies cannot be resolved
This error could be caused by required additional software packages which are missing or not installable. Furthermore there could be a conflict between software packages which are not allowed to be installed at the same time.
I already tried installing them with "aptitude" and failed.
I am running Ubuntu 12.10
Please help! I've had this problem for a while now and don't know what to do!
