dependency errors from wine preventing installations of all programs

Question

I am unable to down load any application from Ubuntu software center. while down loading I get a window with this message. The following packages have unmet dependencies:

wine1.6: Depends: wine1.6-amd64 (= 1:1.6.2-0ubuntu4) but 1:1.6.2-0ubuntu4 is to be installed
         Depends: binfmt-support (>= 1.1.2) but it is not going to be installed
         Depends: wine1.6-i386 (= 1:1.6.2-0ubuntu4) but it is a virtual package

Can you summarize your problem by editing your post with an actual question? — Aaron, Sep 27 '16 at 16:01
Have you changed the error message? Because it seems the version required is already installed — Anwar, Sep 27 '16 at 16:18

You should be able to resolve this conflict by asking apt to do it for you.

sudo apt-get install -f

You can use synaptic package manager and check the problems.

Synaptic is installed by default and the dependency errors reported may prevent installing other software, including Synaptic... Then you say "check the problems"... Where? How? C'mon, a little more effort in answering goes a long way. – Sep 27 '16 at 18:33
