Since a sudo apt-get update, wine is no longer recognized by Ubuntu (as if I removed the package).

I decided to clean it completely and tried to install Wine again without success. OS : Ubuntu 13.10 64 bits

Output of sudo apt-get install wine

The following information may help to resolve the situation:
    The following packages have unmet dependencies:
     wine : Depends: wine1.6 but it is not going to be installed or
                     wine1.7 but it is not going to be installed

Output of : sudo apt-get install wine1.6

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 wine1.6 : Depends: wine1.6-i386 (= 1:1.6.1-0ubuntu1~ppa1)
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages

. I found many different potential solutions on AskUbuntu, but no one works :(

Thanks in advance

EDIT : output of sudo apt-cache policy wine

wine:
  Installed: (none)

  • Did you add a wine specific PPA? Maybe that PPA is broken or its packages were missing. What is the output if you try to run "apt-cache policy wine" or "apt-cache policy wine1.6"? – Camicri May 22 '14 at 23:10

    Sorry for the late reply, I still have the same problem. I updated my question in order to display the output of apt-cache policy wine – Antho May 23 '14 at 14:31
  • @CamicriSystems : I have run apt-get update and Ubuntu suggested me to update many packages including Wine! I really don't understand, but it solved my problem 2 days after.. '6 upgraded, 35 newly installed, 0 to remove and 3 not upgraded. ' – Antho May 23 '14 at 14:44
  • Maybe because your repositories are outdated, so your apt-get failed to get available package candidates for wine (especially when using PPA based repositories). So I suggest to "apt-get update" first before installing new package. – Camicri May 24 '14 at 12:37
