Why not just use the Wine PPA. Far easier.....

'Ubuntu 12' also doesn't exist. It is Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise).

Yes, you add the PPA then install the application easily using the first link in the results on that page

The guide shows how to do it using the GUI too

First 2 steps completed successfully....but for 3rd the output was :

asif@asif-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get install wine1.5
Reading package lists... Done

Package wine1.5 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

Fom the link I gave above;

apt://wine1.5

You could have even used software centre.....

you will need to compile it which will require installing more packages, it will be quicker and more suitable to install the packages as given rather than mess around with compiling.

downloading in UBUNTU SOFTWARE CENTER or TERMINAL, are resumable or not?

no unfortunately. If you have a slow link then do it overnight

Do you have software centre open or updates running. If so then close it or let the updates fiish. If not then run:

sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a

Then retry
