--- Comment #3 from Rosanne DiMesio dimesio@earthlink.net --- For Ubuntu users, this type of problem usually happens when they've installed packages from a PPA. In the case of Mint, it's also possible packages in the Mint repository that differ from the Ubuntu ones are causing the problem. Either way, it's not a bug. WineHQ packages are built against dependencies in the standard and universe Ubuntu repositories, and that's the only configuration that is supported. As you noted yourself, you were able to install Wine on a laptop running Mint, so the problem is something installed on the problem systems.

If you need help sorting out the dependencies, ask for it on the forum.
