I have installed Wine a year ago when I had Ubuntu 14.04. Now I am on Ubuntu 16.04 and lately I have had problems with SSD which led to the deletion of my Wine Windows environment. I tried creating a new environment but it didn't work so I had to uninstall wine. I purged it, and tried to install it again but I am getting:
$ sudo apt-get install wine1.6

Description-en: Microsoft Windows Compatibility Layer (Binary Emulator and Library)
Wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows applications on Linux.
Applications are run at full speed without the need of cpu emulation. Wine
does not require Microsoft Windows, however it can use native system dll
files in place of its own if they are available.
.
This package includes a program loader for running unmodified Windows
executables as well as the Wine project's free version of the Windows API for
running programs ported from Windows.
