Hmm, I think I misread the output of your command. The line

100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

means that the package from the ppa was removed but not purged. and you 
certainly don't have the ppa in your sources.list. Maybe you should 
purge this package and others coming from the ppa. I think the easiest 
way to do it would be with synaptic. At the "Status" tab select the 
section "Not installed (residual config)". Then mark all those packages 
for complete removal and click the "Apply" button. Then try again to 
install wine.
