I'm pretty new to Ubuntu. I just have been googleing and trying whatever they had done that said they were solved. Nothing has worked, though.

Your installation appears to be broken, likely from some other bad instructions you followed - Wine is only the latest error on that log, there are many others before it.

Ways to go about fixing it?
I have no clue where to begin.
