Did you try to install the proposed version, and in doing so, did you try to download and install the missing dependencies? If so, you have a broken system, and can only get it back if you purge all the 'missing dependencies' that you installed already. It might be quicker to completely

$sudo apt-get install wine should work. Have you tried sudo apt-get update followed by sudo apt-get dist-upgrade to make sure your version of wily really is completely up to date. Do that first, then try installing wine without any version numbers. I've had wine working in wily for months now.

Just a thought - if you tried to install the latest version instead of the one in the Wily repo. This is not yet possible. Wine has been held back until a whole lot of dependencies can be satisfied. It will appear in Xenial before it is backported to Wily. Be patient! This is not a bug. --
