I couldn't get it to install either, finally figured out it had to do with bleeding edge packages I had added.

I went around and around trying to get it working then ended up finding this and running it out of desperation: http://code.google.com/p/apt-downgrade/.

Took a while, but wine installed perfectly afterwards.
