Make sure that you have the "universe" repository turned on.
Check your /etc/apt/sources.list has the following in it:

deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper-security universe
deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper-security universe

If you look at:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/otherosfs/wine
you'll see this at the top of the page:
  Package: wine (0.9.9-0ubuntu2) [universe]
The [universe]bit in red means that it the repository.

Make sure that there are no wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt references in
the file. Then:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install wine

Note: I installed the wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt version previously
but encountered problems with it. I uninstalled, then fell back to the
one above (0.9.9-0ubuntu2) and everything is working fine since.
