I can't install WINE. When I go to the terminal and type sudo apt-get install wine1.7, I get

The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:

E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
I've looked around here on AskUbuntu, and haven't found a solution to the problem. I tried going into Synaptic and going to Edit --> Fix Broken Packages, but this doesn't fix the problem. I've tried sudo apt-get autoremove and sudo apt-get update, but those do not solve the issue either. I've tried adding the WINE PPA, but that doesn't work either.
This issue started after trying to install netflix-desktop from the ppa:ehoover/compholio PPA. After I installed this, an icon appeared in my panel telling me of a problem involving wine1.7:i386 not being in the cache. I had this problem once before, so I uninstalled WINE and removed the PPA, but now WINE won't install at all.
Any ideas?
sudo apt-get -f installin a terminal window? – Marc Feb 16 '14 at 03:07sudo apt-get install winepart. The same as above happens. – ExplodingKittens Feb 16 '14 at 03:08sudo dpkg --configure -a? – Marc Feb 16 '14 at 03:23ppa:ehoover/compholioPPA, it may be that some packages from that PPA remain installed on your system and conflict with Wine somehow. You could try asudo apt-get install ppa-purge && sudo ppa-purge ppa:ehoover/compholioin order to revert all packages that may have been installed by that PPA to official packages. – Malte Skoruppa Feb 16 '14 at 03:45
