So, I'm trying to install wine on Ubuntu, and when I double click wine in Ubuntu Software Center, I get this: There isn't a software package called "wine1.4" in your current software sources.

I already added ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa to sources, so this shoudln't be happening. Plus, when I try to install ANY version of WINE using the terminal, I get this : Package 'wine1.4' is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted or is only available from another source.
E: package 'wine1.4' has no installation candidate

Someone, please explain to me what I have to do to get wine installed, that's all I need. Thanks.

If you're using the PPA, the latest stable version of Wine is 1.6 (and 1.7 for the beta). You should try to install either of them because I don't think they give much of support for older versions.

OKay, I just tried to install it and got this:

Package dependencies cannot be resolved
This error could be caused by required additional software packages which are missing or not installable. Furthemore, their could be a conflict between software packages which are not allowed to be installed at the same time.

ANd when I tried from console, It straight out told me "depends on wine but not installable"

There has to be something so I can install wine, can I manually retrieve the package from the internet?

Try checking if any wine related packages are installed and remove them, then try this:
Code: 
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install wine1.6

If this doesn't work, another thing you can do is try installing wine from source. I did this before and it worked just fine for me a while back.

Okay, I feel really close to this, I think I am just missing wxpython, it says I have python, but when I try to execute playonlinux, I get this

(precise)aaron@localhost:~$ sudo bash /home/aaron/Desktop/playonlinux-shell
[sudo] password for aaron:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/aaron/Desktop/python/wrapper.py", line 32, in <module>
import wxversion
ImportError: No module named wxversion
(precise)aaron@localhost:~$

So, I believe I am just missing wxpython, and if I have that, I should be good, because the playonlinux I found is a version that only requires python and wxpython. I just a need a last, easy bit of help. Thanks so far!
