The error message "E: unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages" indicates a problem in your package management system.
Please run steps 1 to 6 of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PackageManagerTroubleshootingProcedure and instep 6 paste all output into this question document that you have already created.

Why are you using the Wine PPA? Did you try the version in the Ubuntu repositories which will install without issue?

Manfred Hampl (m-hampl)

After step6 the op is above.... what to do next?

actionparsnip (andrew-woodhead666)

can u guide me, how to install one without issues?

It seems that there was something wrong in the network connection at the beginning of the commands.
Please re-try the following commands

ubuntu-support-status
cat /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/multiarch
dpkg --print-foreign-architectures
sudo grep -R proxy /etc/apt/*
grep proxy /etc/environment
echo $http_proxy
echo $ftp_proxy
grep proxy /etc/bash.bashrc
grep proxy ~/.bashrc
cat /etc/apt/apt.conf
cat /etc/lsb-release
uname -a
sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get -f install
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get install wine

and copy/paste all output as done before

WHy did you add the Wine PPA in the first place?

actionparsnip (andrew-woodhead666)

I am a new user, I have no idea in the first,I followed what others said, so I added blindly.....so what is the next thing I need to do now to solve the problem?

sudo apt-get install ppa-purge
sudo ppa-purge ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa

Should do it

Please retry the command

apt-cache policy wine wine1.4 wine1.6

something must have gone wrong when you did that the first time.

sudo apt-get --reinstall install smplayer-translations smplayer-themes

Will clear up those warnings. If you are using a GTK based desktop then smplayer will add a LOT of files as deps as smplayer is Qt based (KDE). Gnome-mplayer will add very little and do the same thing. If space is a luxury you have then use alll you like :-)

smplayer for wine?

By reinstalling the packages you added the file list back in.
