This problem still exists.

I have a fresh new installation of Ubuntu 14.04 and first I want to install wine:

apt-get install wine

Okay - I tried to install wine1.6 directly:

apt-get install wine wine1.6

Now I tried to install wine from the PPA as described above and got the same error message!

If I want to install wine1.6 then the package wine1.6-i386 is not installable and if I want to install wine1.7 from the PPA then wine1.7-i386 (= 1:1.7.18-0ubuntu1~trusty1) is not installable.
