Don't even try! I did - and broke almost everything because of incompatible QT stuff. The whole problem as far as I can see, was down to the latest QT being incompatible with the current wine package. I've flagged it up with the last known Ubuntu wine package maintainer but with no success as shown in the above.
Looks like someone ought to take it up with wineHQ. It is really up to the Ubuntu folk to find a willing packager. There is a fixed Debian DEB package, but Ubuntu won't install it properly ..... It won't meet the dependencies - possibly because of more anomalies - I forget what the messages say!
As I say, the problem is fixed in wine itself - if you want to grab the code and build the wine package you could do that. But I think you'll get the same dependency problems that the Debian package shows. It is just easier for me to use Mint for the time being.
