First you need to remove the lucid ppa (though this may not actually
be the cause of the problem since the latest is the first one).  In
System Settings (under the cog in top right hand corner) select
Software & Updates and on the Other Software tab make sure there are
no Lucid sources selected.  Then when you close I think it will ask to
update the sources data.  Part of the problem may be that some stuff
from those has been installed and will have to be sorted out.

In at terminal
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
If there are any errors from that then post them here. If it suggests
apt-get -f then do that.

Finally try
sudo apt-get install wine
again and see what happens.
