OK.

Therefore all your packages are correctly installed. Which is good. :) That makes the error message > Can not install 'wine' (E:Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.) all the more puzzling. :( > Thats the error that appears when i try to click on the link after taking the previous steps > So what do i do to fix this problem? You have got the line: > Now you can install Wine by clicking this link. Alternatively, you can install by going to Applications->Add/Remove and searching for Wine. > Clicking the link makes assumptions about what program you are using to browse the web. I use Firefox and clicking on that link does absolutely nothing. Pasting apt://wine (the target of the link) into Firefox also does nothing but when I paste it into Konqueror, I get asked if I want to install Wine. However, that is under Kubuntu, not plain Ubuntu, where your default browser may be set to nautilus or galeon (I don't know plain Ubuntu very well). I think (guessing) the package that makes the clicking work for Konqueror is kio-apt. Whether you need a package for your browser and what it might be called I can't say. So go for plan B. The instructions say you can go to Applications->Add/Remove and search for wine. If there is no such menu entry (there isn't under Xubuntu), just use synaptic. Open synaptic, search for wine and take it from there.
