Colin, Gary,
Finally I have some time to continue my  search to install wine. Up till 
now my conclusion is that possibly some correct - but seldom occurring - 
configuration of my configuration that has been overlooked in the 
programming of apt-get. Therefore it gives this general error apparently 
as it is too exceptional.
To be sure I repeated all steps:
1 Removed all ppa references to wine.
Then did the whole sequence as Colin had already mentioned:

The most interesting error :PkgProblemResolver that that says that 
packages are held, generating broken packages, i.e. the first error. 
However, nowher is indicated which package is held. In the list Gary 
gave (http://paste.ubuntu.com/8368191/) there is a long list of 
installed packages but which one is missing is not indicated.
Ans as you see it is a perfect circle outcome. The last one is already 
correctly installed.
I did the things Gary recommended and it gave a perfectly normal output:
