I read if I wish to run Windows based programs in Ubuntu without the full licence I need to install wine.
Now I typed: 

sudo apt-get install wine

After reading package list is done at the end the message says 

The following packages have unmet dependencies: 
   wine : Depends: Wine1.6 but it is not going to be installed 
E: unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages .

What can I do?

in case you have broken package try

sudo apt-get install -f 
sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update

then run wine .

N.B : If there is a specific reason to emulate windows applications with administration capabilities or compatibility with older version of windows (95,98,ME...) you should type WINARCH=32 winecfg before running wine.
