If, as you say, you really haven't added/deleted/changed any files then it's unlikely that you've done anything to break wine. However, there have been a few reports of problems with Ubuntu updates causing problems recently and it might be that this is the cause of your troubles. Your best course of action would be, I feel, to take this over to the Ubuntu forums to see about getting the broken packages problem fixed, then come back here if that doesn't cure your system.
