Wine refuses to install topic

I have a problem that has been asked before by others, but not solved. I have read through the forums and AskUbuntu and none of those solutions have worked either. Wine will not install. Trying to install the dependencies forces removal of basic things like software-center, ubuntu-desktop, shotwell....

When I try to install Wine1.6 with the software center, I get this error:

wine1.6: Depends: wine1.6-amd64 (= 1:1.6.2-0ubuntu4) but 1:1.6.2-0ubuntu4 is to be installed
Depends: wine1.6-i386 (= 1:1.6.2-0ubuntu4) but it is a virtual package

When I use apt-get I get the same sort of error.
Based on the information other posts have asked for, here is the output from various commands:
$$ dpkg --print-architecture

amd64

$$ uname -m

x86_64

$$ dpkg --print-foreign-architectures

i386

$$ lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | grep -i wine
