[Wine] Problems with Wine on Debian

[ThomasM]

Hello all,

I am fairly new to Linux, so I hope that the following problem is not just me being ... new to Linux.

I have been trying to install Wine on Debian (Etch 4.09 I think it is called). I first tried to use the

apt-get install Wine

command followed by the winecfg (creating the .wine folder), but when I tried to run the notepad.exe (i.e. with the command wine /home/thomas/.wine/drive_c/windows/notepad.exe) I get the error message

"module not found" (error number126)

I tried then to follow the tutorial on the blog:
TuxArena: Running Google Chrome Under Wine 1.1.6 in Debian (http://tuxarena.blogspot.com/2008/10/running-google-chrome-under-wine-116-in.html)

But then "apt-get update" gives me this

Code:

debian-502:/home/thomas# sudo apt-get update

Reading package lists... Done
E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.



I then tried to install wine anyway (using apt-get install wine) and I got:


Code:
Reading package lists... Done

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  wine: Depends: libasound2 (> 1.0.14) but 1.0.13-2 is to be installed
        Depends: libc6 (>= 2.4) but 2.3.6.ds1-13etch7 is to be installed
        Depends: libgphoto2-2 (>= 2.4.0) but 2.2.1-16 is to be installed
        Depends: libgphoto2-port0 (>= 2.4.0) but 2.2.1-16 is to be installed
        Depends: libldap-2.4-2 (>= 2.4.7) but it is not installable
        Depends: libxslt1.1 (>= 1.1.20) but 1.1.19-3 is to be installed
        PreDepends: dpkg (>= 1.14.12ubuntu3) but 1.13.25 is to be installed
E: Broken packages




What am I to do?
