That is nothing to do with the Wine problem.  OK, lets start again
with the ppa in place.  First lets have
apt-cache policy wine
to check that it wants to pick it up from the ppa.  Then
apt-cache policy wine1.6
and
apt-cache policy wine1.7

If wine1.7 has a candidate to install from the ppa then try to install
it, assuming it then complains about something not installed work down
the chain till you find the culprit, as we did before.  If wine1.7 is
not available then do it with 1.6.  Post all the results here.
