Can't Install wine without dependencies

Question

Followed this guide to install wine.

After adding repository installed wine using:

sudo apt-get install wine1.7

But I get the following error:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:  wine1.7 : Depends:
wine1.7-i386 (= 1:1.7.34-0ubuntu1~ppa1) but it is not installable E:
Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

So I tried:

sudo apt-get install wine1.7-i386

But it did not work.

Can someone help me please?

See http://askubuntu.com/questions/138530/why-do-i-get-an-unmet-dependencies-error-when-trying-to-install-wine and / or contact the maintainer of the ppa as the packager should resolve this problem. — Panther, Feb 03 '15 at 20:50
So when you install wine1.7-i386 what actually occurs, it counted back with the first error? Possibly related to the ppa bot having the desires files or may be redundant. — DankyNanky, Feb 03 '15 at 21:19
