My guess is that's because you are using an old version of Ubuntu. http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-0bae04b4126dffb8a08bf020982badacb6f367ff

That package is a very old version of Wine, and it is no longer supported.  You need at least the latest stable release. Ask for help on the Ubuntu forum if you can't figure out which package to download. As for your dependency issues, ask for help with that on the Ubuntu forum, too. These are packaging issues, not Wine issues.

Your other option is to build Wine yourself from source, but to do that you would have to satisfy even more dependencies, and since you are clearly unfamiliar with basic usage of your OS, I wouldn't recommend it.
